Preston-on-Tees is a small civil parish in the Borough of Stockton-on-Tees, set close to the banks of the River Tees in North East England. It blends a quietly rural character with the influence of nearby towns, so you'll find historic farmed landscape and riverside views alongside housing and commuter links into the wider Teesside conurbation.
The parish name itself reflects its long history - "Preston" meaning a priest's settlement - and the area has long been shaped by agriculture and the river economy rather than heavy industry. Today it retains a village feel with a modest local community and easy access to the amenities and transport of the larger Stockton and Teesside area.
