Royston Cave

Royston Cave is an enigma. No records of its age or purpose exist. Some suggest it was used by the Knights Templar, others as a private chapel or hermitage. It's also claimed to be the site where two ancient Ley lines meet. Discovered by accident in 1742, Royston Cave is man-made, bell-shaped and cut 8 metres into the chalk that lies beneath Royston's ancient crossroad, Ermine Street and Icknield Way. The cave is decorated with low-relief wall carvings. The carvings are mostly Christian in depiction and medieval in style. They include representations of the Crucifixion and notable saints such as St Catherine and St Christopher. Elsewhere are figures of a horse and an Earth Goddess, believed to be Pagan fertility symbols. Online booking only
