The parish of Far Cotton and Delapre sits on the south‑west edge of Northampton in West Northamptonshire, England. It hugs the floodplain of the River Nene, with Delapré Park and the historic Delapré Abbey providing a leafy contrast to terraces and post‑war housing on the higher ground.
Historically the area grew up around riverside industry and milling and later expanded with council housing; recent years have seen pockets of regeneration, community initiatives and pressure from development. Residents tend to value the green spaces and local heritage, while the suburb functions as a mix of commuter neighbourhood, local shops and evolving community identity.
