The ice cream farm with spectacular views and nature trail that's brilliant for families

With views of rolling hills as far as the eye can see, there are few more spectacular places to stop for an ice cream across the north west than at Blaze Farm. This hilltop farm, which produces the award-winning Hilly Billy ice cream, boasts a nature trail around its farmland with panoramic views of the Cheshire plains and the Peak District.

The ice cream farm is a popular destination for families as there is also a host of animals on the farm that you can visit - including goats, miniature ponies, sheep and ducks on a tranquil duck pond on the site. There are also large tearooms serving hot and cold breakfasts, lunch and afternoon snacks with indoor and outdoor seating.

Outside you can take in the simply breathtaking views of the countryside and hilltops of Cheshire including the distinctive peak of Shutlingsloe and across to Macclesfield Forest. Blaze Farm is located in the village of Wildboarclough in Macclesfield, on the main A54 road between Congleton and Buxton.
