Priestwood is a small residential neighbourhood within the borough of Gravesham, in north‑west Kent, England. It lies close to the town centre of Gravesend and the River Thames, and is generally suburban in character with local shops, community facilities and nearby green spaces.
The area is popular with commuters thanks to good road and rail links into London and around north Kent, so the local economy is closely tied to the wider borough. Historically the Gravesham area has strong maritime and riverside connections, and today Priestwood retains a quiet, community‑focused feel with a mix of housing typical of north Kent suburbs.
