BerkshireDatchet

Datchet, traditionally in the county of Buckinghamshire, became part of Berkshire in 1974 and part of Windsor and Maidenhead in 1998. 

The village, standing on the banks of the Thames, developed because of its close proximity to the ferry that connected the main road from London to Windsor across the river.  The ferry was later replaced by a bridge.

 Although there has been some modern development, Datchet has retained many of the features of the quiet riverside village it once was. 

The oldest buildings are grouped around the village green, with the oak tree planted in 1887 to celebrate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee at its centre. 

Datchet has a station on the railway line from Windsor and Eaton Riverside to Waterloo and is close to the M4.

  Because the village is convenient for London it has been the home of many famous people over the years.  Sir Isaac Walton (1595-1683), who wrote the 'Compleat Angler', often fished locally.  William Herschel (1738-1822), the astronomer moved to Datchet after he was created 'The King's Astronomer' in 1782.
