About
This ancient custom is all but unique to Derbyshire. Before the county boundaries were moved in, Dore was in Derbyshire but today it's in South Yorkshire and still dresses wells – this is the 49th year that Dore villagers have been dressing wells. The small well is done by older girl guides.
There are two cafes and two pubs in the village and, on Sunday after the service the Church Hall is open for cream teas (just follow the signposts).
Well Locations
Main well, Village Green – take road at side of Hare and Hounds Pub (Savage Lane) and Village Green is approx 200 yards down on left at junction with Vicarage Lane
