The Ashby Castle ward sits at the heart of Ashby-de-la-Zouch in North West Leicestershire, Leicestershire, England and takes its name from the imposing medieval castle ruins that overlook the town. The castle and the nearby canal basin and Georgian streets give the area a strong heritage character and a steady trickle of visitors through the year.
Locally the ward is a mix of compact town centre shops, cafes and residential streets, with an economy boosted by tourism and commuter trade to nearby cities such as Leicester and Derby. The surrounding landscape links into the National Forest and the legacy of the former coalfield, so the area combines market‑town social life with easy access to green corridors and local community events.
