Join us on our <em>amazing</em> Ghost Walk around <strong>Ashby-de-la-Zouch!</strong>

Ashby de la Zouch is an ancient market town and civic parish in North West Leicestershire.

The town was originally known as "Ashby", an Anglo-Danish word meaning Ash Tree Farm.  It became Ashby-d-la-Zouch after the Norman conquest when the La Zouch family came into possession of Ashby during the reign of King Henry III.

Ashby-de-la-Zouch has many stories to tell ... especially as there remain ruins of a 12th-century castle here.  This castle is stunning and well worth a visit.

The castle and the town came into the possession of the Hastings family in 1464, and William Hastings enhanced its fortifications.

<em><strong>Will you pick up any of the Hastings family as we meander past the castle ruins?</strong></em>

During the English Civil War, Ashby-de-la-Zouch was one of the Cavaliers' chief garrisons under the command of Colonel Henry Hastings.

<strong><em>Will you encounter any spirits as you wander through the town?  </em></strong>

Many of the buildings in Market Street, the town's main thoroughfare, date back to Elizabethan times and have some original timber frames.

With so much history, as you can imagine, this town has many ghost stories.

<em><strong>So why not join the Haunted Heritage team on a ghost walk around the Ashby de la Zouch, taking in the historical significance and tales of ghostly encounters?</strong></em>

<strong>Guests must be 16 years of age to attend.</strong>
