Play Hatch is a tiny rural hamlet in the district of South Oxfordshire in the county of Oxfordshire, England. Nestled on the edge of the Chiltern Hills and overlooking parts of the Thames Valley, it sits close to the larger village of Sonning Common and the market town of Henley-on-Thames.
Historically an agricultural settlement of cottages and farms, Play Hatch has retained a quiet, residential character while serving as a base for commuters working in nearby Reading and Oxford. The local economy is small-scale - farming, rural businesses and leisure - and its easy access to the River Thames and Chiltern Hills walking routes gives it appeal for those wanting countryside within reach of town amenities.
