DATCHET

The name “Datchet” is thought to be Celtic in origin, and the last part may be related to wood.

FISHING BY RIVER THAMES AT DATCHET

The village developed because of its closeness to Windsor and the ferry service which connected it to the main London road across the River Thames. The ferry was later replaced by a road bridge at the foot of High Street and a rail bridge.

BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPE

Datchet is popular with sailing and it has one of the largest inland sailing clubs called Datchet Water Sailing Club at the Queen Mother Reservoir.
