Description
Royston Cave - A Historical and Mystical Underground Journey, a fascinating man-made beehive-shaped structure carved into chalk beneath the ancient crossroad of Ermine Street and Icknield Way, has intrigued visitors since its discovery in 1742. Accessed through a 22-meter-long tunnel, created in 1790 by builder Thomas Watson, it was promoted as "the greatest curiosity of the kind in Europe." The cave features a raised octagonal step, believed to be used for kneeling or prayer, and mysterious carvings that may represent St. Michael, possibly linked to the Michael ley line.
Visitors can explore the cave through guided tours, which include insights into its history, ancient rituals, and architectural features. Sensory adapted tours are available for those seeking a quieter experience, with smaller groups and a slower-paced tour. For those unable to visit in person, a 360-degree virtual experience is available. Admission prices are as follows: Adults £10, Children (3-16) £4, Concession (65+, Student) £8, and free entry for children under 3 years. Also explore the surrounding Heritage Trail, Royston Museum and Royston Priory and Gardens as part of their journey through this historic site.
