These award-winning gardens are a perfect place to rest on a hike in the area. With a diverse array of beautiful bedding plants as well as mature woodland, pick a bench and enjoy the sights and sounds of the greenery.

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.
