Datchet is a village and civil parish in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead in Berkshire, England, on the north bank of the River Thames. Historically part of Buckinghamshire, and the Stoke Hundred, the village was eventually transferred to Berkshire, under the Local Government Act 1972. The village developed because of its proximity 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. The bridge was rebuilt three times. There is also a rail bridge approaching Windsor across the river, and road bridges above and below the village.
==Etymology== The name Datchet is first attested, in a charter from between 990 and 992, as Deccet; it appears in the Domesday Book as Daceta. The name is thought to be Celtic in origin, partly because of its similarity to the ancient Gaulish name Decetia; the last part may be the Brittonic word that appears in modern Welsh as coed ("wood").
