Well Dressings

In 2010, there were five:

• Greg Fountain Well Dressing at the Greg Fountain, Bollington Cross. The Fountain is on Flash Lane (B5091) near its junction with Bollington Road (B5090), facing the Cock and Pheasant pub
• Clarence Mills Well Dressing near the new canal bridge
• Cow Lane Well at the junction of Lord Street and Chancery Lane
• Memorial Gardens Well Dressing near the War Memorial in the Gardens at the junction of Palmerston Street and Water Street
• Pool Bank Well in a garden off the eastern corner of Pool Bank car park

Two further sites were decorated as part of the Well Dressing Festival: the Labyrinth, and Tinker's Clough. However, these did not have traditional Well Dressing boards.

How to get there

Bollington is located East of the A523 Hazel Grove to Macclesfield road.

CAR: you may park in the car park of the Cock and Pheasant pub whilst visiting the Greg Fountain; take care when crossing Flash Lane, which is deceptively busy. For the other well dressings, use the Pool Bank car park in the village centre.

SATNAV: SK10 5EJ
This is a convenient nearby postcode that can be entered into your car’s satnav. It is not necessarily the postcode where the dressings are located

BUS: Mondays to Saturdays: every ½ hour from Macclesfield, every 2 hours from Stockport. Sundays: hourly from Macclesfield.
For bus services in Derby, Derbyshire and the Peak District, see the Derbyshire Public Transport website. Various Day Tickets are available giving unlimited travel during the day on buses (and in some cases trains) in the relevant area. For bus services outside Derbyshire see Traveline.

CYCLE: The traffic-free Middlewood Way, part of National Cycle Route 55, runs through the village.
