Flowton is a small, quiet rural parish in the district of Mid Suffolk, in the county of Suffolk, England. Set among rolling arable fields, hedgerows and small copses, the village comprises a handful of farmsteads, cottages and a historic church with medieval origins, and it retains several listed buildings that hint at its agricultural and manorial past.
The local economy remains largely agricultural, although many residents commute to nearby towns such as Ipswich for work and services. Social life is typical of a small Suffolk community - understated and close-knit, centred on the church, occasional parish events and the surrounding countryside that draws walkers and those seeking a peaceful rural setting.
