About

Ashby Castle ward encompasses the historic market town of Ashby-de-la-Zouch in North West Leicestershire. The area is defined by its mixed residential streets and the commercial centre along Market Street. It includes local services, independent shops, and several schools, serving as a functional hub for the surrounding community. The ward's geography is largely urban in character, with some open parkland and recreational spaces integrated into the town's layout.

The ward's name derives from its most prominent feature, the substantial ruins of Ashby de la Zouch Castle, a former manor house fortified in the 15th century. This English Heritage site, once owned by the Hastings family, anchors the town's identity. The area's history is visibly embedded in its streetscape, with the castle grounds providing a green space amidst the town's infrastructure.
