Best Gelato in Peak Dale

"One of the best ice cream parlours in Manchester, Ginger's Comfort Emporium is a Northern Quarter favourite handing out dairy and vegan scoops all year round. With specials including Campari and coconut, Eccles cake and Chorlton Crack (peanut butter and salted caramel), these frozen spoonfuls are always at their best when served in sandwich form. We all scream for these quirky ice cream sandwiches."

"Ginger’s Comfort Emporium – A great place to sit and enjoy a coffee and some great ice cream. Heroes Café – Homemade burgers, pies, soup, lasagne, chilli, curries and many more delicious dishes. They are also expanding selection of their Vegan dishes."

"It was presented in a cute little glass and the menu stated it was ‘made at kitchens in Manchester.’ It definitely tasted home made and although it was nice, it was so milky that the flavour was overpowered. This was also the most expensive one."

"Editor's Note: There's no photo available at the time of writing. If you’re looking for an alternative day out, then look no further than the Our Cow Molly Dairy Farm & Ice Cream Shop. Experience a taste of Yorkshire farm life and some tasty ice cream, too."

"In a stunning patch of the Peak District, Blaze Farm is a working farm that is completely free to enter. Children will be able to meet the goats, sheep, donkeys and chickens, and there are seasonal activities to catch like lambing in springtime and sheep shearing in summer. The farm is extensive and has nature trails ushering you into woodland and meadows."

"Blaze Farm is one of our favourite places to visit with our boys who love visiting the farm animals and following the nature trail. Whilst the homemade Peak District ice-cream is the main reason people visit, they also serve a pretty awesome hot chocolate too!"

"If you’re in the mood for indulgent desserts, Rassam’s Creamery is your place, just a 7-minute drive from your new home. They’re available on Uber Eats, so you can stay in your dressing gown and slippers and wait for your pancakes to be delivered to you – yay!. Their menu is pretty much filled with pancakes and crepes, so you can really dig in with a variety of options."

"Birthplace of the suffragette movement in 1903, the Pankhurst Centre is an excellent place to learn about the fight for women’s right to vote. There are people who guide you through the house to help you learn about the history. The museum is open to the public from 10-4pm on Thursdays, and on the second and fourth Sunday of the month."

"Located about 10 miles from Sheffield, the Elsecar Heritage Railway is dedicated to the preservation, restoration, and expansion of one of the area's oldest railway lines.

"Now admittedly as the name suggests this next place is more of a garden than a park but it is stunning nevertheless, and definitely deserves its spot on the list of best parks in Sheffield. There are two pedestrian entrances for the Botanical Gardens, the main entrance is on Clarkehouse Road; there isn’t a car park here but there is parking available on the various side roads surrounding the gardens. The second entrance is on Thompson road just off the bustling ecclesall road."

"As Sheffield consists of over 61% green space, the city cannot be complete without a proper botanical garden. Displaying more than 5,000 different species of plants, the Sheffield Botanical Gardens span more than 19 acres (8ha) of land and were first opened in 1836. The gardens feature beautiful glass pavilions, as well as an old bear pit and a spectacular main gateway."

"The Botanical Gardens are just down the road from Endcliffe Park but are also a prime picnic spot. The cafe does great coffee, which you can enjoy whilst sitting amongst plants from all over the world. But the best spot in the springtime is just in front of the beautiful crocuses."

"A good range of spirits and craft beers, and worth popping in for a Sunday roast after a long walk. Outdoor seating available"

"At the heart of London Road you’ll find the Cremorne, a venue that has long been popular for live music. When there isn’t a gig on, it’s a great place to hide away with a slice of their pizza and a pint. Outdoor seating available"
