[编辑] 历史

"Ashby" is a word of Anglo-Danish origins, meaning "Ash Farm". The Norman French addition dates from the years after the Norman conquest of England, when the town was given to the Zouche family in the reign of Henry II.

[编辑] Template:Governance

Template:Expand-section Prior to 1974, Ashby-de-la-Zouch formed its own local government district - Ashby-de-la-Zouch Rural District - within in the administrative county boundaries of Leicestershire. Since 1974, it has formed part of the North West Leicestershire local government district.

[编辑] Template:Geography

Ashby-de-la-Zouch is located at Template:Coor dms (52.7667, -1.4667)¹. An old popular song entitled Ashby-de-la-Zouch By The Sea plays on the fact that Ashby is in central England.

In recent years the town has been one of the fastest growing in the Midlands, and the historic centre is now surrounded by executive housing.

• Willesley Park Golf Course is set in rolling countryside, partly in parkland and partly on heathland. The course was opened for play in April, 1921. The first hole is played along an avenue of lime trees which once flanked the old coach road from the old Norman castle in the town to the now demolished Willesley Hall.
• Nearby villages include Packington, Donisthorpe, Oakthorpe, Measham, Coleorton, and Moira.

[编辑] Template:Transport

The Midland Railway reached Ashby in 1845, placing the town on an important route between Leicester and Burton upon Trent. In the 20th century the passenger train service through Ashby was withdrawn. The Leicester - Burton railway continues to run through the town, but now it carries only freight. In the 1990s there was an unsuccessful plan to restore passenger services as a branch of Leicestershire's Ivanhoe Line; however, it remains within Leicestershire County Council's Structure Plan as a project awaiting funding.
