Datchet Berkshire Map

About Datchet

Datchet rests beside the gentle flow of the River Thames, a Berkshire village whose character is shaped by water and sky. It lies 2.2 km east-south-east of Eton (from Eton: bearing 106°T, OS grid SU 988 770), and is situated south-south-east of Myrke village. The broad sweep of the river, often reflecting a luminous, pale English sky, lends a quiet grace to the surrounding landscape, a place where the land feels soft and yielding. Datchet’s village green, a verdant expanse, has long been a gathering place, its ancient trees standing sentinel over generations. Historically, it was a place of considerable importance, offering a tranquil but well-connected retreat, a fact that still seems to imbue its present-day atmosphere with a sense of enduring calm. The presence of Windsor Castle on the horizon, a majestic silhouette against the clouds, serves as a constant reminder of the royal proximity that has shaped Datchet’s fortunes.
