Ashby-de-la-Zouch Worktop Information

Ashby-de-la-Zouch is a market town in north-west Leicestershire, in the National Forest, about 16 miles north-west of Leicester and 10 miles south of Burton-on-Trent. The LE65 postcode covers the town and the surrounding National Forest and north-west Leicestershire villages. The name combines the Saxon place name Ashby with the French de la Zouch, from the Zouch family who held the manor from the 12th century. Ashby Castle, a substantial ruined castle with a tower that played a significant role in the English Civil War, stands near the town centre and is managed by English Heritage. The town has a well-preserved Georgian and Victorian commercial character around Market Street. Ashby was the setting for a key scene in Sir Walter Scott's novel Ivanhoe, published in 1820, where the tournament of Ashby-de-la-Zouch takes place. The surrounding LE65 area is part of the National Forest, the large area of new woodland being created across the Midlands which has added significantly to the landscape character of the area since the 1990s. Average house prices in LE65 run above the Leicestershire average.
