Ashby Castle

Description

Originally a Norman Manor House, it was converted into a self-contained fortress by Lord Hastings in the 15th Century. After the Civil War, the Castle was partly destroyed and largely forgotten until steps were taken to preserve the Castle and it is now in the care of English Heritage. Walk the underground passage between the tower and the kitchen, and be amazed that you can still climb to the top of the half ruined tower!
