Prestbury is a large village and civil parish on the edge of Cheltenham in Gloucestershire, England, noted for its honey‑coloured stone houses, narrow lanes and conservation‑area character. The village centres around a medieval green and St Mary's Church, and supports a handful of independent shops, pubs and a lively community scene popular with commuters to Regency Cheltenham and the nearby Cotswolds.
The parish has deep historic roots - its name reflects an early clerical association - and contains many listed buildings and veteran trees. Most nationally visible is Prestbury Park, home of Cheltenham Racecourse, which drives a surge of tourism, hospitality and equestrian activity during the National Hunt season and the Cheltenham Festival, while the rest of the parish remains largely residential and locally focused.
