Well Dressings

Two:

1. Moravian Church Well Dressing outside the Moravian Church
2. Children’s Well at a Well located about 80m down a small footpath leading from the roadside immediately opposite the Moravian Church

The Moravian Church is in the Moravian Settlement. There are two main entrances to the Settlement: one is just off Green Lane, near the Cross Keys pub; the other is on Bakehouse Lane, which leads off Victoria Avenue.

How to get there

Ockbrook is located between the A6096 Derby to Ilkeston road and the A52 Derby to Nottingham road about 2km east of Spondon.

CAR: use DE72 3RJ for satnav
The road through the Moravian Settlement is narrow and parking can be tricky, especially at busy times. Nevertheless, it is usually possible to find a space. Failing this, park on Bakehouse Lane, but please bear in mind that this is a residential road and avoid causing any obstruction.

BUS: Mondays to Saturdays: hourly from Derby and Borrowash; 2 additional (express) services per hour from Derby at Borrowash, Hawthorne Avenue (about 1.5km). Sundays: at Borrowash, Nottingham Road (about 2km): 2 per hour from Derby and Nottingham.
