With so many people visiting the UK every year and with lots of people on the move every day around this densely populated and busy country there is an abundance of accommodation for visitors and travelers.

Whether you are looking for a campsite, somewhere to park a motorhome, a B&B guesthouse (bed and breakfast), a rented apartment or cottage or hotel to suit any price range you will find whatever you need within a few miles of Donington.

There are guesthouses and hotels which cater just for the circuit itself and if they are booked up there are always places to stay in the nearby towns and cities of Derby, Nottingham, Loughborough or Leicester, or anywhere close along the M1 motorway.

When visiting the East Midlands region to watch the bikes in action at Donington there is lots more also on offer within easy reach of the circuit.

There is an interesting museum at the track, the Donington Grand Prix Exhibition, whilst the nearby town of Castle Donington, on the edge of the beautiful National Forest, is worth a look around. Elsewhere in Leicestershire the National Space Centre is a cool place to take children for an afternoon of discovery.

The city of Nottingham is a short drive away and is certainly worth a visit. Call in at the City of Caves, visit the impressive Lace Market district, enjoy a quintessentially English cricket match at the Trent Bridge international cricket ground, stroll around the busy shopping streets or sample the nightlife in the many cafes, bars, pubs and restaurants dotted around the city centre. Nottinghamshire is also famous for the legend of Robin Hood and the county’s Sherwood Forest is now a National Nature Reserve which is very popular with visitors.

Derbyshire’s stunningly beautiful Peak District is not far away either and can be explored on foot, bicycle, train or even better, on a motorbike. Start in Matlock and make your way along the winding roads to Bakewell and then onwards to places such as Hathersage, Castleton and Edale.

This area of England has some great pubs, with every city and town having plenty of good ‘watering holes’. Once you get out into the picturesque English countryside it is often the case that smaller villages have some of the coziest and friendliest pubs of them all.

Not all pubs offer food and ‘pub grub’ - as the English call it – can be something of a lottery, but with a little planning or simply asking the locals you can find a welcoming tavern with excellent meals on offer.

Try a Ploughman’s Lunch (meat, cheese and pickles), a traditional serving of fish ‘n’ chips, roast beef or a steak and ale pie. The East Midlands also has some of the best local ales in the country.

Also, locally made Red Leicester or Blue Stilton cheeses are delicious and a top quality Melton Mowbray pork pie is a true English delicacy.

Donington Park was the venue for the first career win of four-time WorldSBK World Champion Carl Fogarty, in 1992 in Race 2. Along with this, Neil Hodgson took his first win 2000’s Race 2, whereas in 2018, Toprak Razgatlioglu stepped on the podium in World Superbike for the first time.

Through the 1980s and up until the mid 1990s Castle Donington was home to the epic Monsters of Rock music festival which featured legendary bands such as AC/DC, Whitesnake, Van Halen, Metallica, KISS, Aerosmith and Iron Maiden!
