Underskiddaw is a civil parish in the Allerdale below Derwent Ward of Cumberland. It lies immediately to the north of the town of Keswick, and includes the southern and eastern flanks of Skiddaw as well as part of the valley of the rivers Greta and Derwent, and a small part of Bassenthwaite Lake. The parish includes the settlements of Applethwaite, Millbeck and Ormathwaite, all of which lie along the line where the southern slopes of Skiddaw meet the valley.[1]

The civil parish originates as the township of the ancient parish of Crosthwaite. In 2001 it had a population of 282 in 122 households, reducing at the 2011 Census to a population of 264 in 128 households.[2]
