One of the most striking features of Royston is its beautiful architecture. The town's historic buildings are a testament to its rich heritage, dating back to the Roman era. The most iconic landmark is the Royston Cave, a mysterious subterranean chamber carved into the chalky ground beneath the town that is believed to have been used for religious or ceremonial purposes.
