Preston is a small village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, set close to the banks of the Humber Estuary and a short drive from Kingston upon Hull. The landscape around the village is largely flat farmland and saltmarsh, offering wide estuary views and a mix of coastal and rural character.
Historically a farming community with medieval roots, Preston now sits near modern industrial facilities around Saltend and the Port of Hull, so the local economy blends agriculture, light industry and commuting. The village retains a small, close-knit social life centred on a village hall and local events, appealing to those who want quiet countryside while remaining within reach of urban amenities.
