I phoned first and left a message on the answer phone when no-one answered. We were visiting the area soon and I wanted some information regarding things to do in the area. A week later a map and some brochures arrived in the post, mostly walks and country parks locally but useful. Many thanks. When we visited Macclesfield, we called in for directions to a particular mill shop and a restaurant. It was easy to find, in the market place. The lady was very helpful.

Blaze Farm

Reviewed By Louppg - Greater London, United Kingdom

3rd time visiting Blaze farm over the years and I love going here. Visited with an 11 year old in the Easter holidays - we enjoyed seeing the lambing, holding lambs and petting the baby goat. The farmer was giving running commentary on delivering a lamb and answered our questions well. The lambing shed entrance price was excellent value. Walked along the nature trail and had fairly close up views of the sheep and lambs and geese. There is also a peacock wondering around too! Finished off with a tasty ice cream - great value trip out with lovely animal experiences for all ages! Fab views as well from the siteacross the countryside. If you can't park on the tarmac, keep driving on through the site for parking on rougher terrain further back from the main sheds.
