Preston is a coastal village and suburb of Weymouth in south Dorset, England. It is approximately 3 kilometres (2 mi) north-east of Weymouth town centre and 2 kilometres (1 mi) west of the village of Osmington.

Preston contains two Haven campsites, Seaview and Weymouth Bay. It is home to a 14th-century church, St Andrew's, which was built on the site of a much earlier Norman church. It has three public houses: The Bridge Inn (formerly called The Swan), The Spice Ship and The Springhead. On the coast is the beach resort of Bowleaze Cove.

Preston has a village hall, used for many local groups including the local pantomime group.[citation needed]

Since 2019 Preston has been represented by Cllr Tony Ferrari (Conservative) and Cllr Louie O'Leary on Dorset Council as part of the Littlemoor and Preston ward.[1] On 6 November 2023, councillor Tony Ferrari died after collapsing while running.[2]

In 1931 the civil parish had a population of 855.[3] On 1 April 1933 the parish was abolished and merged with Weymouth, Bincombe and Poxwell.[4]

Notable people

The Wesley family (the founders of Methodism) lived at Manor Cottage, which lies just south of The Spice Ship.[citation needed]
