Snibston South is a ward in North West Leicestershire, Leicestershire, England, lying immediately to the north‑west of the town of Coalville. The ward occupies part of a former coalfield landscape, with a mix of residential streets, pockets of post‑industrial open space and green links into the nearby National Forest and country parks.
Its identity is strongly shaped by mining history - centred on Snibston Colliery and the long‑running Snibston Discovery Museum, which was a local focal point for industrial heritage and education until its closure in 2015, though the wider country‑parkland remains popular. Today the area combines a working‑class community ethos with ongoing regeneration, local services and a commuter economy tied to nearby towns and light industry in and around Coalville.
