Preston on Stour is a village in Gloucestershire, in the north-east of the county close by the border of Warwickshire. It is found some two and a half miles south of Stratford-upon-Avon.
As its name suggests, the village stands on the River Stour, which flows northward, just east of the village centre. The A3400 main road follows the river about half a mile further east.
To the east of the village lies the country estate of Alscot Park with its Grade I listed Georgian mansion house.
The village formerly had a Junior and Infant School but this was closed in 1974.
