Tissington Well Dressing & Ashbourne
Today day we will visit the magnificent Tissington Well Dressings. This annual event is a fascinating Derbyshire tradition which involves decorating wells and springs with beautiful petals and other natural materials. A theory suggests that this tradition started after the plague. Tissington was one of the very few villages that escaped the deadly disease, therefore each year a thanksgiving to the source of pure water was given, and so the tradition of decorating wells and springs with flowers was born. The Tissington villagers continue to dress their wells with delicate, intricate and colourful designs, still using only natural and organic materials. There are usually six Well Dressings to marvel at in Tissington. From here we will go to Bakewell being the only market town in the National Park, consisting of both domestic stalls and a cattle market. There are many shops clustered around Bakewell's marketplace and a very good tourist information centre.
The coach will leave Albrighton, Crown bus shelter at 8.15am and Trinity Methodist Church, Codsall at 8.30am. The cost of todays trip is £35.00
