Schools in Ashby-de-la-Zouch
The National Forest frames the western reaches of Ashby-de-la-Zouch, a market town of around 16,000 in the North West Leicestershire district, close to the Derbyshire and Staffordshire borders. Ashby de la Zouch Castle shaped its medieval story. Built as a fortified manor in the fourteenth century, the castle fell into ruin after the Civil War, while Victorian ribbon manufacturing gave the town's next chapter of industry.
Hill Top is among the most sought-after pockets for primary school catchments, and the historic town centre draws families for its compact market character. Packington and Worthington form quieter residential parishes to the south and east, with the A42 providing the main road link to Nottingham and Tamworth.
