Straddling the A6 road, the village contains several old hostelries and hosts a market in The Square every Friday.
The 19th century church of St Thomas overlooks The Green and The Square - prior to its construction Milnthorpe was in the parish of Heversham.
Local industry includes a 300-year old comb making business, farming, and tourism (being a convenient stop off point for coaches en route to the Lake District -- and just to the north is Levens Hall, famed for its topiary).
Each July, the Milnthorpe Men's Forum holds its Annual Art Exhibition in the Church. Milnthorpe has two Steel Bands - one for adults and the other based in the village junior school.
The Dallam Tower estate stands near to the River Bela just south west of Milnthorpe, whilst St Anthony's Tower may be seen on the top of St Anthony's Hill to the north east of the village centre, overlooking the village and the housing estate of Owlet Ash Fields in nearby Ackenthwaite.
