Long Preston is a village and civil parish in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, England, in the Yorkshire Dales. It lies along the A65 road, and is 12 miles from Skipton and 4 miles from Settle. The population of Long Preston in 2001 was 680, increasing to 742 at the 2011 Census.
Humans have been in the Long Preston area since prehistoric times; remains have been found in caves on the hills above Settle and an axe head dated to the Stone Age was found in the area of Bookil Gill. The presence of a Roman Road through the village, led to the discovery of a small fort in what is now part of the churchyard.
