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.
Royston railway station provides direct train services to London King's Cross in approximately 40 minutes and to Cambridge in just 15-20 minutes, making it ideal for professionals, students, and families alike.
Within the town, there are town centre car parks, local bus links, and a range of public services. 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.
Royston hosts a twice-weekly market every Wednesday and Saturday at Market Hill, offering a variety of fresh produce, local goods, and artisan stalls.
The town features a mix of independent shops, high-street brands, cafés, restaurants, and traditional pubs, contributing to a welcoming and community-focused atmosphere.
The town supports an active lifestyle with several local sports clubs, including tennis, hockey, cricket, and rugby.
In terms of education, King James Academy Royston provides a through-school model for students aged 9-16, formed by the merger of previous middle and upper schools.
