About

North West Leicestershire sits in the northwest of Leicestershire in the East Midlands. It includes towns such as Coalville, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Castle Donington, Kegworth and Measham, and a mix of former industrial sites, farmland and pockets of new woodland created as part of the National Forest. Ashby-de-la-Zouch retains the stone keep of its medieval castle beside a market town street plan, while the Ashby Canal runs through the district with restored lengths and traditional locks that trace the area’s transport history.

Transport and logistics play a large role locally. East Midlands Airport lies close to Castle Donington and Kegworth, with a rail freight terminal at East Midlands Gateway linking road, rail and air freight. Donington Park race circuit sits near the airport and hosts motorsport and music events. Rows of former colliery buildings and slag heaps mark the legacy of coal mining around Coalville, and former rail routes and restored canal sections are used by walkers and cycling groups.
