Offcote and Underwood is a small, largely rural civil parish in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England, lying a few miles to the north‑east of Ashbourne. The landscape is typical Derbyshire countryside of rolling pasture, pockets of ancient woodland and traditional stone field boundaries; its location on the fringe of the Peak District gives a pleasant mix of lowland farmland with easy access to hillier scenery.
Economically it remains rooted in agriculture, with scattered farms and hamlets rather than a dense village centre, while many residents commute to nearby towns for work and services. The area has medieval origins and a quiet historic charm reflected in stone cottages and farmhouses; social life tends to centre on local community groups and nearby market towns rather than on any single large settlement within the parish.
