Datchworth is a small, largely rural village and civil parish in the district of East Hertfordshire, Hertfordshire, England, set among rolling countryside and small woods. The parish includes a few scattered hamlets such as Burnham Green and Hooks Green, and sits within comfortable commuting distance of larger towns and London, which helps give it a mix of long-standing farming ties and newer commuter residents.
The village has a strong sense of local history and character, with a conservation feel, a historic parish church and the nearby country estate of Datchworth Park, traditional cottages and a village green. Community life is active for a settlement of its size, centred on the village hall, pub and local clubs, while the local economy blends agriculture, small businesses and people who travel out to nearby towns for work.
