About......
The JCB worldwide headquarters is at Rocester just eight miles south from Ashbourne. Factory tours are sometimes available - you have to book so check their website for details.
The landscaped grounds with lakes, sculptures and fountains are freely open all the time and are popular with runners and dogwalkers - there is plenty of parking.
