Castle Donington is a small town, with a population of around 7000 in the North West of Leicestershire, part of the Derby postcode area and on the edge of the National Forest. It is the closest village to East Midlands Airport and DHL which are major employers. East Midlands Airport is served by several major airlines including BMI, Ryanair, EasyJet, Thomson Airways (who have a training centre at the airport) and many others. Castle Donington is also home to the world famous Donington Park motor racing circuit. Castle Donington stands on the former Nottingham to Birmingham trunk road. The village is a mix of the old and new, with modern shops mixed with dignified Georgian and Regency houses. Several timber framed houses dating from the 17th century and earlier survive along the main road.
Although there isn't a rail station in the village, East Midlands Parkway oppened early in 2008 at Ratcliffe on Sour providing links on the Midland Main Line.
