My Guide to Ice Cream Farms & Parlours in Cheshire & Beyond
When it's a sunny day there is nothing better than popping out for a tasty treat of a lovingly made Cheshire ice cream. We have some fantastic local farms and parlours in Cheshire who make their own ice cream from their own cows and lots of them have extra activities and events on to make it a great place to meet up with friends and to take the kids for a play and an ice cream.
This dairy has been producing milk for three generations and now turned its hand to creating some very good ice cream. You can sit and enjoy your ice cream while gazing at one of Cheshire’s iconic sights, the Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank, just across the fields
where Bidlea’s herd of Holstein Friesians graze.
