Welcome to Tonge

Tonge is a small village located in the county of Leicestershire, England. It is situated approximately 5 miles south of the town of Ashby-de-la-Zouch and 10 miles north of the city of Leicester. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is home to a number of historic buildings and landmarks, including the Grade II listed St Bartholomew's Church, which dates back to the 13th century. The village also has a primary school, a village hall, and a pub.

One of the main attractions in Tonge is the Tonge Mill, which is a historic watermill that dates back to the 18th century. The mill was originally used for grinding corn and was powered by the River Sence, which runs through the village. Today, the mill has been converted into a private residence, but it still retains many of its original features, including the waterwheel and the millstones. Visitors can also take a walk along the river and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

Another popular attraction in Tonge is the Tonge Castle, which is a ruined medieval castle that dates back to the 12th century. The castle was built by the Normans and was used as a stronghold during the Middle Ages. Today, only the ruins of the castle remain, but visitors can still explore the site and learn about its history. The castle is located on a hill overlooking the village and offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside.
