Best Ice Cream Shops in Hope Valley

Hope Valley Ice Cream is a charming family-run dairy farm and ice cream shop nestled in the heart of the Peak District. With over 300 years of farming history, the Marsden family now produces a delightful range of traditional and unique ice cream flavors, using milk from their own cows. Visitors can enjoy a truly immersive experience, exploring the farm, meeting the animals (including calves, pigs, and donkeys), and witnessing the robotic milking process. The ice cream itself is made fresh on-site, offering a delicious taste of local ingredients. Beyond the ice cream, the shop also serves toasties and cakes, and a specialty coffee drink called a ‘Hopeccino’. While the farm offers a fantastic experience, the road leading to the farm is quite bumpy and narrow, so a vehicle with good ground clearance is recommended. Despite this, the friendly staff, beautiful setting, and unique farm-to-table concept make Hope Valley Ice Cream a memorable destination. There are no confirmed healthy ice cream options currently available.
