About Preston

Preston lies along Dorset's World Heritage coastline between Weymouth and the dramatic Jurassic Coast cliffs. Reach it via the A353 from Dorchester or the coastal road from Weymouth town centre, just 5km away. The village sits where the South Dorset Downs meet the sea, with around 30 EV charging points nearby. Its thatched smugglers' cottage still contains the original hidden passages once used for storing contraband.
