Castle Rock is an electoral ward in the district of North West Leicestershire, in the county of Leicestershire, England. It occupies a mix of suburban streets and small industrial estates set into the county’s gentle lowlands, with nearby patches of countryside and the planting schemes associated with the National Forest not far away.
The ward’s character reflects the county’s industrial past - coal and quarrying shaped local communities - while today the local economy is a blend of light industry, local shops and commuters using good road links and access to East Midlands Airport. Socially it’s a mixed area with older terraces, newer housing estates and an active community life centred on schools, clubs and village‑scale amenities, where local planning and services are frequent topics at council meetings.
