Flore is a small village and civil parish in West Northamptonshire, England, set among the arable landscape typical of Northamptonshire. It lies a few miles west of the market town of Daventry and is within easy reach of the main transport corridors - the A45 and M1 - with rail connections on the West Coast Main Line at Long Buckby, so it combines a rural feel with commuter convenience.
Historically an agricultural community with roots stretching back centuries, Flore now mixes period cottages and later housing; village life centres on the parish church, village hall and the local pub, with regular community events, a strong local identity and many residents who work in nearby towns and cities. The setting and surviving older buildings give it a quietly historic character typical of small Northamptonshire villages.
