Underwood is a village and electoral ward in the district of Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, in the East Midlands of England. It sits where suburban ribbon development meets open countryside, a short drive from larger centres such as Nottingham and Mansfield, with local roads and bus links giving reasonable access to nearby towns and the motorway network.
Historically a coal‑mining community, Underwood has gone through the familiar post‑industrial transition of pit closures, with former industrial sites partially redeveloped and a stronger emphasis now on residential life, local services and green spaces. Community life centres on the village hall, primary school and small shops, and there’s a noticeable commuter element alongside a quiet local identity and walking routes into the surrounding countryside.
