=== Transport ===
==== Roads ====
The [[A41 road|A41]] and [[A49 road|A49]] roads pass on either side of the village.

==== Railway ====
West of the village of Prees, but not in the village or the parish as the name would suggest, is the [[Prees railway station|railway station of Prees]] opened in 1858. It lies on the [[Welsh Marches Line]], between [[Whitchurch, Shropshire|Whitchurch]] and [[Wem]]. There is a regular service with pre-determined stops. The station is not in the village itself because Captain Black, a wealthy resident in the village stated that the station had to be exactly one mile away from the centre of the village, which at the time was the mill, located (still today) on Mill Street. This was so that it could be easily reached as a route out with the goods produced.{{cn|date=June 2023}}

====Bus====
The village is served by the 511 bus route, operated by [[Arriva Midlands|Arriva Midlands North]], which runs between [[Shrewsbury]] and [[Whitchurch, Shropshire|Whitchurch]] via [[Wem]]. Some services terminate in Wem and do not continue to Whitchurch.

==== Canals ====
Prees was the intended destination of an arm of the [[Ellesmere Canal]]. However, the arm was only completed as far as [[Quina Brook]].  The arm is now known as the [[Prees Branch]] of the [[Llangollen Canal]], and is navigable for about a mile to Whixall [[Marina]]; the following 3/4 mile is still followable on the towpath as it passes through Prees Branch Canal Nature Reserve.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wild-net.org/ukwebsite/TWTReserveDetails2.aspx?id=2974|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110728190839/http://www.wild-net.org/ukwebsite/TWTReserveDetails2.aspx?id=2974|url-status=dead|archive-date=28 July 2011|title=Wildlife Trust Reserve Details|date=28 July 2011|access-date=9 December 2018}}</ref>
