Ashby-de-la-Zouch sits in the northwest corner of Leicestershire, right at the heart of the National Forest. It’s a town defined by its wide, red-brick Market Street and the looming sandstone ruins of its 15th-century castle, which still dominates the skyline. Geographically, it’s well-placed for getting around; the A42 runs right past the edge of town, making it easy to reach Derby, Nottingham, or Birmingham, though the town itself remains compact and walkable. It has managed to keep a firm grip on its market town identity, with a mix of long-standing independent shops alongside the usual amenities, and there’s a distinct sense of space thanks to the Bathurst Heritage Orchard and the proximity of Hicks Lodge. While the "de-la-Zouch" suffix - added by the La Zouche family centuries ago - gives it a grand name, the reality is a practical, grounded place where the industrial history of the nearby coalfields meets the quieter pace of the Leicestershire countryside.
