The attractive town of Royston features on both the Icknield Way and Hertfordshire Way long-distance paths. In fact, its ancient Royce Stone is the official start point of the latter. The town has plenty of places for hikers to stock up on supplies, as well as accommodation options and eateries.

The last in a series of mile markers running from Great St Mary’s Church in Cambridge to Barkway, 16 miles away. These were erected in the 1730s, the first milestone series erected in England since the departure of the Romans. Most are still visible between Cambridge and Barkway if you know where to look.

The Church of St John The Baptist is a Grade I-listed church in the heart of Royston. Founded as an Augustinian Priory in the second half of the 12th century, it was transformed into a parish church after Henry VIII’s dissolution. The west tower dates to the 16th century. Inside, you can observe a finely-carved wooden pulpit and lectern from the 15th century and a medieval octagonal font.

The Grade II listed BUILDING now houses a restaurant.
