Join us on our amazing Ghost Walk around Ashby-de-la-Zouch!

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

The town was originally known as “Ashby” which was 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 it was William Hastings that enhanced its fortifications.

Will you pick up any of the Hastings family as we meander past the castle ruins?

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

Will you encounter any spirits as you wander through the streets of the town?  

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

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

Join us on our amazing Ghost Walk at Moira Furnace!

This furnace is one the hidden gems of Leicestershire.  The furnace sits nestled within beautiful countryside so there is plenty to love about this place!

The buildings here were built in 1804 by the Earl of Moira, alongside the banks of the Ashby Canal.

Moira Furnace was a coke-fuelled, steam-engine blown blast furnace for the smelting of iron from local iron ore, with an attached foundry for the manufacture of cast-iron goods.  With the canal network, the furnace had the perfect transportation network.
