Brinsley and Underwood are neighbouring villages in the district of Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, England, sitting roughly between Nottingham and Mansfield on the edge of the Nottinghamshire countryside. The area mixes small pockets of post‑war and more recent housing with open fields and woods, so residents enjoy easy access to rural walks while still being within reach of larger towns and commuter routes.
Both villages have strong coal‑mining roots - their growth in the 19th and 20th centuries was driven by local pits - and that heritage still shapes local identity through memorials, community groups and a tradition of tight‑knit social life. Since the closure of the pits the local economy has diversified: some light industry and small businesses have appeared and many people now commute, but village halls, pubs and sports clubs continue to anchor community activity and events.
