Blaze Farm is free to enter and you can walk round to meet all the various residents – cows, sheep, chickens, pigs, goats – and if you’re visiting in Spring, you can see lambs being born in the lambing shed! There’s also a short family walk around the farm (detailed here).

But one of the top reasons to visit Blaze Farm is to taste their homemade Peak District ice cream. From the Tea Room you can also order delicious home made lunches, including sandwiches, paninis, soups, jacket potatoes, traditional ploughmans, and mouth-wateringly good deserts.

Just outside the Tea Room is a courtyard with picnic, and kids will enjoy the tunnel slide her and tractor to climb on and pretend drive.
