Heading north-east out of Ashby and under the A511. The Ivanhoe Way is a 35 mile circular walk around north Leicestershire, celebrating Sir Walter Scott's 1820 novel 'Ivanhoe'. Scott chose Ashby de la Zouch castle and the surrounding countryside as one of the settings used in the book, having got to know the area whilst staying at nearby Coleorton Hall. http://www.leics.gov.uk/index/environment/countryside/walking/ivanhoeway.htm
