Preston is a small village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire in England, sitting on the edge of the rolling chalk landscape of the Yorkshire Wolds. The surrounding countryside is classic East Riding farmland of hedged fields and gentle valleys, which gives the parish a distinctly rural character and an economy still largely shaped by arable and mixed farming.
Historically the settlement has medieval roots and retains a few period buildings and a parish church that reflect that past, while socially it functions as a close-knit community with local events organised around the village hall and parish council. Residents tend to rely on nearby market towns such as Driffield and Beverley, or commute into Hull for work and services, so the parish combines quiet village life with ready access to larger centres.
