Castle Donington Castle is an electoral ward in North West Leicestershire, Leicestershire, England, centred on the historic market town of Castle Donington and its surrounding neighbourhoods. The area retains medieval touches, including the motte-and-bailey earthworks and the old parish church of St Edward, while sitting close to major transport links such as the M1, A42 and East Midlands Airport, and within easy reach of the River Trent.
Locally the economy blends logistics and light industry linked to the airport with a strong tourism and events trade around Donington Park motorsport circuit and music festivals, and many residents commute to Derby, Nottingham and Leicester. Socially it feels like a mix of long‑standing village community and newer commuter neighbourhoods, with active local clubs, pubs and conservation of listed buildings giving the ward a distinct small‑town character.
