Snibston is located on Ashby Road in Coalville. There is a large car park, and regular bus services from Leicester and Loughborough stop just outside. |
The Abbey Pumping station is also known as the Museum of Technology. It is set in a large pumping station in Leicester, and, as well as a large beam engine, contains hands on activities related to industry and technology.
