Ashby de la Zouch Castle

"what are we doing today?"

A Royalist stronghold during the Civil War, the castle finally fell to Parliament in 1646, and was then made unusable.

An underground passage from the kitchen to the tower, probably created during this war, can still be explored today.

We do strongly suggest you ring Ashby de la Zouch Castle before you set off on your family day out, just to make sure they are open and to confirm admission prices, there is nothing worse than disappointed kids in the back of your car after a long journey.

Also, it may be worth clicking the link to Ashby de la Zouch Castle's website, to see if there are special events and seasonal things to do that may be going on during the day.
