A real standout in the area is Doddington Dairy, which supplies fresh, high-quality milk and dairy products to shops and restaurants all across Northumberland. Their commitment to local, sustainable farming is part of what makes their ice cream so special—it’s rich, creamy, and unmistakably fresh.

Just a short drive away, you’ll find the much-loved Doddington Milk Bar, located in Wooler. This spot has become something of a destination in its own right. Visitors come for breakfast, light lunches, coffee, and indulgent homemade cakes, but it’s the ice cream that often steals the show. With its reputation for quality and generous portions, it’s a must-visit stop if you’re exploring inland from the coast.

Another fantastic local favourite is Morwick Dairy, based near the village of Warkworth. This family-run dairy farm has built a loyal following for its traditionally made ice cream, crafted using milk from their own herd.

Their ice cream is wonderfully creamy and comes in a tempting range of flavours—from classic vanilla and strawberry to more adventurous seasonal specials. You’ll often find Morwick Dairy ice cream stocked in local farm shops and cafés throughout the area, making it an easy and delicious addition to your coastal adventures.

If you’re heading towards Warkworth for a riverside walk, a visit to the castle, or a wander around the charming village streets, keeping an eye out for Morwick Dairy ice cream is highly recommended. It’s another perfect example of Northumberland’s farm-to-cone quality.
