Underwood sits on a high ridge at the very edge of Nottinghamshire, where the urban sprawl of the Erewash Valley begins to give way to rolling countryside. Historically, it was a small hamlet that grew significantly during the coal mining era, though it has since returned to its quieter, residential roots. Its most notable local connection is to D.H. Lawrence, who was born in nearby Eastwood and frequently used the landscape around Underwood as the backdrop for his novels. Geographically, it is practical for anyone needing fast access to the M1 motorway, which sits just a short drive down the hill, yet the village itself remains surrounded by a network of footpaths leading toward Felley Priory and the Moorgreen Reservoir. The community is centred around the primary school, the church, and a couple of traditional pubs, maintaining a distinct boundary between the buzz of Greater Nottingham and the rural hills of the Derbyshire border.
