Bus Travel in Ashby de la Zouch and Swadlincote

Get a warm welcome in these lovely Derbyshire towns

Ashby de la Zouch is named after the La Zouch family and has a fabulous castle, parkland and an alpaca farm, making it a great family trip too. Climb to the top of the castle for the views and then discover the underground tunnel. History buffs will be in their element!

For a friendly welcome, Swadlincote, or Swad as it's known to locals, is hard to beat. This lovely Derbyshire town has a wonderfully rich pottery and mining heritage and a great sense of community pride. Located in the heart of the National Forest, there is so much to see and do. Swadlincote boasts a pottery museum, a ski and snow centre, an urban park and an excellent shopping centre. As the sun goes down, a cinema, real ale pubs and restaurants offer the perfect ingredients for a relaxing evening out.

We operate regular bus services in and around both towns which connect to destinations across the Leicestershire and Derby regions.
