About

Castle Rock ward encompasses the western edge of the town of Coalville, extending into the surrounding countryside. The area includes residential neighbourhoods alongside significant green spaces like the expansive Stephenson Way park. It is bordered by the A511 to the north and features several industrial estates that contribute to the local economy. The ward's landscape transitions from urban housing to open fields and woodland, reflecting its position on the town's fringe.

The ward takes its name from the notable geological feature, Castle Rock, a prominent sandstone outcrop visible from parts of the area. This site is a local landmark and a point of historical interest within the wider National Forest. Housing is primarily a mix of post-war and more recent developments, serving a residential community with local schools and amenities integrated into the urban fabric. The presence of both natural topography and planned greenery defines much of its character.
