Datchworth is a compact village and civil parish set in the rolling countryside of East Hertfordshire, in the county of Hertfordshire, England. It lies within easy reach of larger towns such as Welwyn Garden City and Stevenage, yet retains a distinctly rural feel with a village green, timber‑framed and thatched cottages and a conservation area of period buildings.
Historically agricultural, the parish has a long history reflected in its listed buildings and parish church; today it is largely residential with many people commuting to nearby towns and London, alongside some remaining farms and small local businesses. Community life is notable - village clubs, a village hall, cricket and other amateur sports, pubs and an annual fete all contribute to a strong local identity.
