Situated in the southeastern part of the county, it lies approximately 8 miles east of Northampton and 10 miles west of Wellingborough. The village is nestled within a predominantly rural landscape, surrounded by picturesque countryside and farmland.

The origins of Blacky More can be traced back to medieval times, with historical records dating back to the 13th century. The village's name is believed to have derived from the Old English word "blæc," meaning black, and "mere," which refers to a pool or lake.
