Datchet is a village and civil parish in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, set on the north bank of the River Thames opposite Eton and a short hop from Windsor. Its riverside location on the Thames floodplain provides popular towpath walks, meadowland and a cluster of traditional pubs and shops around St Mary's Church, reflecting a long history as a waterside stopping place.
Today Datchet is largely a residential and commuter community with good rail and road links into London, but local life still revolves around riverside leisure, village events and a small local economy of hospitality and services. Seasonal flooding from the Thames is a recurring local feature, and the village’s combination of historic buildings and proximity to royal attractions makes it a pleasant, well‑connected spot on the edge of the capital.
