Flore is a village and civil parish in West Northamptonshire, situated a few miles west of Daventry and within convenient reach of Northampton. Set in gently rolling arable countryside, it benefits from good road and rail links - including easy access to the M1 and the West Coast Main Line - which makes it popular with commuters as well as long‑standing rural households.
Historically centred on farming, Flore still shows a mix of traditional stone and brick cottages, a historic parish church and a village hall, and community life is sustained by a local pub, clubs and annual events. The local economy blends agriculture, small businesses and commuter income, while conservation areas and several listed buildings contribute to a well‑preserved village character.
