About

Underwood ward covers the north-eastern edge of Ashfield, bordering Nottinghamshire's countryside. The area is primarily residential, with housing developments situated alongside older village cores. Large tracts of agricultural land and woodland, such as the fringes of Sherwood Forest, define its outer boundaries. This creates a mix of suburban and semi-rural environments within the ward's limits.

The local economy includes some small-scale industrial units near major roads. Daily life is centred around local schools, community halls, and parks. A notable landmark is the historic Underwood village cross, which stands at a central junction. Transport links are provided by the A611 and A608 roads, connecting the area to larger towns like Sutton-in-Ashfield and Hucknall.
