Preston Dorset Map

About Preston

Preston, a quiet corner of Dorset, holds a gentle charm. It lies 5.0 km north-north-east of Weymouth (from Weymouth: bearing 28°T, OS grid SY 702 830), and is situated west of Osmington village. The land here rolls softly, a landscape that has long favoured agriculture, its fields a patchwork of greens and golds under the wide, often luminous sky. The air carries the faint, sweet scent of ripening crops in the summer months, a fragrance that mingles with the distant murmur of the sea, a reminder of the coast not far off. There is a sense of enduring peace in Preston, a quiet continuation of lives lived in tune with the seasons, where the local church spire stands as a sentinel over the clustered homes.
