Blaze Farm & The Potty Sheep — Attraction in Macclesfield Forest and Wildboarclough

Nestled in a serene green setting, it's the perfect place to sit back, relax, and enjoy some delicious ice cream while surrounded by nature. The atmosphere is incredibly peaceful, with plenty of greenery, views of nearby farms, and even a few adorable little pets around to keep things lively—making it a great destination for families or anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle.

One of the standout aspects of my visit was the staff. Everyone was courteous and welcoming, but I was especially touched by the warmth of an elderly lady behind the counter. Her genuine smile and the care with which she served the ice cream really stood out. It’s rare to see such passion and kindness, and it made the visit feel even more special.

The ice cream itself was tasty and fairly priced, with a good variety of flavors. The area is very clean and well-maintained, with plenty of parking space, which made access easy and stress-free. The only area that could use some improvement is the toilets—they were functional but could benefit from a bit more attention.

Overall, a wonderful place to spend some quiet time, enjoy a treat, and feel welcomed. Highly...

A gem in the hills above Macclesfield.

I have been here on several occasions and the place is great. If you have kids and want to teach them about animals them this is a good place to start. There are goats, chickens, donkeys, cows, pigs, peacocks and cats and you can see them in a farm environment. Last time we went the farm cows were being milked and they had several baby animals to see and pet.

The café is good and there is a quiet room as well as a family room or on a nice day you can sit outside. Theres even an old tractor made safe for kids to climb on and pretend to be farmer.

Food in the café is reasonably priced but the main attraction is the ice cream shop. The ice cream is fantastic and I can heartily recommend the pistachio and almond and the bubble gum flavour. They also sell ice cream in tubs to bring home!!!!

It can get busy on a warm summers day but there's plenty of parking, but if its busy keep an eye on your kids because the access road to the main car park is past the shop and...

Fantastic farm, tea rooms and ice cream parlour. We tend to visit twice a year, once during lambing and once during the summer to enjoy their delicious ice cream.

The lambing is a fantastic experience, with the farmer being on hand (literally) to tell you all about what's going on. It was really educational for the children, who were absolutely amazed with it all. You can also hold and cuddle the cute little lambs which is a real bonus. All this for £1.50 is an absolute bargain!!

In the summer there's a great nature trail where you can see some of the animals and a lovely outside eating area. There is a tractor for the children to play on and a brilliant pipe slide. It's worth keeping an eye on their Facebook page for events, we're certainly hoping to attend the summer event to learn about what they do with the sheep's wool.

The food from the tea room and the ice cream are all delicious and very reasonably priced. It's worth remembering that due to the farm's remote location it...
