Ashby de la Zouch Castle

Ashby de la Zouch Castle is based in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire, and offers a professional and friendly team to help you have a great time and enjoy the experiences available.

The property began as a manor house in the 12th century and reached castle status in the 15th century. Come and find out about the castle’s colourful history with our lively audio tour. Hear how Edward IV’s Chamberlain Lord Hastings added the chapel and the impressive keep-like Hastings Tower – a castle within a castle.

Visitors can still climb the tower today despite it suffering massive damage during the Civil War. There are great views from the top! Then make sure you discover the underground passage from the kitchen to the tower, probably created during this war, which can still be explored today.
