Local area information Royston is a historic market town located on the Hertfordshire/Cambridgeshire border, widely regarded as an excellent commuter town thanks to its strong transport links to both Cambridge and London. The town is conveniently situated near the junction of the A505 and A10 roads, offering easy road access across the region.

The area is also rich in history. One of its most unique landmarks is the Royston Cave-a man-made underground chalk chamber beneath the town centre, featuring medieval religious carvings. The origins of the cave remain a mystery, with theories ranging from use by the Knights Templar to a hermit's cell. For outdoor leisure, Therfield Heath offers expansive chalk grassland, walking trails, and scenic views over the town. It's also home to Royston Golf Club. Additionally, the Priory Memorial Gardens, located in the town centre, offer landscaped gardens, a children's play area, and a peaceful place for relaxation.
