Our Own Cows - Our Own Ice Cream

Welcome to The Milking Parlour, a small-batch artisan ice cream producer in Kirkby Lonsdale where you’ll discover authentic Italian gelato hand crafted using milk fresh from the family farm. We make every scoop from cow to cone — using the creamiest milk from our herd, combined with the finest seasonal ingredients to create gelato that’s rich, full flavoured and made to be savoured.

Whether you’re visiting Kirkby Lonsdale, venturing up to the Lake District, or simply searching for the best artisan gelato in Cumbria, you’ll find a flavour worth travelling for at The Milking Parlour.
