Blaze Farm
About
Blaze Farm, nestled in the picturesque hills of the Peak District, is a year‑round family attraction that invites visitors to experience farm life and local hospitality in a relaxed setting. The farm’s signature Hilly Billy ice cream is made on the premises from locally sourced milk and is a must‑try for sweet‑tooth travelers; adjacent tea rooms serve hearty home‑baked cakes and sandwiches that showcase the produce of the region. A network of nature trails – from an accessible basic walk to a more challenging advanced trail – winds through ancient woodlands and open meadows, offering scenic viewpoints and opportunities to spot wildlife. In spring the lambing yard opens for the annual lambing spectacle, while the Potty Sheep Ceramic Studio allows children to create their own colourful ceramic pieces. June to September enjoy warmer weather and fewer crowds, but the farm is open all year round, offering free entry to the main attractions. Visitors interested in overnight stays can book luxury studio apartments such as the Swallows Nest via the site’s accommodation page – these accommodations are separate from the free farm entry and require booking in advance.
