Few things capture the taste of the New Forest quite like a tub of New Forest Ice Cream. Made in Lymington using fresh local milk and carefully selected ingredients, the new 500ml range has recently been refreshed with a vibrant new look and a selection of delicious new flavours.
Even better, two flavours in the range help give back to the place that inspires them, with a donation from every tub sold supporting the New Forest Trust and its work to protect this unique landscape for future generations.
Whether you're packing for a beach picnic, returning from a woodland walk, settling into your holiday cottage or simply treating yourself at home, there's a flavour for every occasion.
If you're visiting the area or live nearby, here's where you can find New Forest Ice Cream across the New Forest and surrounding villages.

Why New Forest Ice Cream tastes so good
Great ice cream starts with great ingredients. That's why every batch is made in Lymington using fresh whole milk, pasteurised on site, and rich double cream from the Isle of Wight. Combined with carefully selected ingredients and flavours inspired by the changing seasons, it's a recipe that's been delighting customers for more than 40 years.
Perfect for sharing with family and friends or keeping all to yourself. The generous 500ml tubs are just as suited to beach days and holiday evenings as they are to stocking the freezer at home. With a refreshed range of flavours to choose from, there's something for everyone, and two varieties also support the New Forest Trust through a donation from every tub sold.
