Ashby-de-la-Zouch, often shortened to Ashby, is a small market town and civil parish in North West Leicestershire, England, within the National Forest. It is a sister city with Pithiviers in north-central France and lies close to the Derbyshire border.
Ashby-de-la-Zouch Castle was of importance from the 15th to the 17th centuries. In the 19th century the town became a spa town. Before the growth of Coalville, it was the chief town in north-west Leicestershire. In the 19th century its main industries were ribbon manufacture, coal mining, and brickmaking. The town ofAshby-de-la-Zouch was served by the Leicester to Burton upon Trent Line of the Midland Railway from 1849. The civil parish includes the hamlets of Shellbrook west of the town and Boundary to its north-west.
Nearby villages include Lount, Normanton le Heath, Smisby, Packington, Donisthorpe, Oakthorpe, Moira, Measham and Coleorton. The towns of Swadlincote, Burton-upon-Trent, Melbourne and Coalville are all within 10 miles (16 km) of Ashby, with the city of Derby 11 1⁄2 miles (19 km) due north. The town of Ashby-de-la-Zouch is situated at the heart of The National Forest and approximately 24 miles (39 km) due south of the Peak District National Park. It lies on the A42 between Tamworth and Nottingham.
Ashby-de-la-Zouch Castle was built in the 12th century. The town and castle came into the possession of the Hastings family in 1464 and William Hastings, 1st Baron Hastings enhanced its fortifications from 1473. St Helen's Church is Ashby's original Anglican parish church. It is a late 15th-century Perpendicular Gothic building. The Ivanhoe Baths was an 1822 Neo-Grecian building with a Doric façade 200 feet (61 m) long.
The Grade II listed, 19th-century water tower, located in the town's cemetery, on Moira Road, has been approved for conversion to a house, despite protests from English Heritage, Ashby Civic Society, and local residents. In the 19th century Ashby's main industry was leather working. There was also a cotton textile factory and a glue factory. Ashby was surrounded by coalmines but was never a coal mining town itself.
The town was to be served by Ashby Canal from 1804 but the canal never reached Ashby, as it was constructed only to the town of Moira. Ashby had a station on the Leicester to Burton upon Trent Line of the Midland Railway from 1845. After the canal was abandoned in stages between 1944 and 1966, British Railways withdrew the passenger service and closed Ashby de la Zouch railway station in September 1964. The railway remains open for freight.
Every May, Ashby holds an arts festival sponsored by the district council. This features local artists, musicians, songwriters, poets, performers, and story tellers. Ashby Statutes, a travelling funfair, is held every September. Instituted by Royal Statute, it was originally a hiring fair, where domestic servants and farmworkers would be hired for the year. During the fair in the 21st century.

Castle with UNDERGROUND TUNNEL and a Tower with 98 STEPS! | Ashby de la Zouch Castle | UK Days Out
Hello and welcome to SpectroMagical! I'm Emma and it's great to have you here!
This video is the start of my trip up to Yorkshire. On the way we stop at Ashby de la Zouch to visit an English castle: Ashby de la Zouch castle, an English Heritage site. We explore the ruins and go into the underground tunnel. We climb the 98 steps to the top of the tower (and get very wet!). Then we have a wander around Ashby de la Zouch itself before moving onto our Travelodge.

Whistle Stop Tour of London in HD - 28th March 2011
A very quick tour of some of London's best known landmarks, all completed in about 2 hours whilst I was down there recently... phew!
Apologies for the shaky camera work in places - this really shows up in HD unfortunately. I may well take a tripod next time!
Featuring: Tower Bridge, Tower of London, London Eye, Houses of Parliament, Big Ben striking 7 o'clock, College Green (couldn't quite get the angle they do the news reports from!), the Cenotaph, 10 Downing Street (I have to say I preferred the previous occupant!), Buckingham Palace (the Queen was in) and the Victoria Monument.
Prison Break - stag party Team Building experience in derbyshire
Best Stag Party we have had doing our team building package - Prison Break.
They was such good fun on a cold wet day and super quick too !!
This package consists of 7 challenging team building activities. You will need to use all of your senses, and being a team player is a must to complete this package.
Your team will need to break into a fake Alcatraz (set in a woodland) to rescue a team member that has been captured and break out again. Sounds easy? Only if you work together.
You will need to gain entry through the main fence which leads into marshland and clear the pathway to allow your team members to pass. One of your team members discovers an unexploded bomb, so you will need to transport this away from your path, carefully, as you do not need to alarm the guards of your existence!
Moving through the marshland you hit quicksand. Don't panic - keep your cool and move quickly. In the distance you see your fellow teammate who is trapped in a net. Work together to rescue them and head to the bridge which is a little dilapidated, to retrieve a map that an internal spy has left for you. The map tells you where the escape rendezvous point is... GOOD LUCK
