West Ashby is a village and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated on the Horncastle to Louth A153 road, and 2 mi north from the centre of Horncastle. Farthorpe, Middlethorpe, and Furzehills are hamlets within the parish. According to the 2001 Census, and 2011 Census, West Ashby had a population of 252.
