While travelling around Leicestershire in a camper van, why not take a trip to Ashby de la Zouch Castle. The castle, which is now in ruins, started off as a 12th century manor house, becoming a castle in the 15th century. The Hastings Tower, added by Lord Hastings, can still be climbed today. Standing at 24 metres high (78 feet) the tower provides excellent views across Leicestershire.
Ashby Castle is also the site of the famous jousting scenes in Sir Walter Scott’s classic novel Ivanhoe, written in 1819.
