Amy’s ice cream is certainly worth a visit. It’s made with milk from her own cows at Gibraltar Farm and it’s just at the end of the lane.


Nearby Arnside also has a good range of local and gift shops, restaurants and pubs.

In addition to the local Cooperative 1 mile away, 5 miles away in Carnforth you will find Tesco, Aldi and Booths supermarkets. Milnthorpe is home to another Booths, as well as a 24hr Spar forecourt shop. Here you will also find a very good specialist butcher (Stuart Smith and Sons).
