Retirement living in Royston, Herts

Situated between Cambridge and Hertford, Royston is a beautiful market town with a strong community and plentiful amenities. It’s surrounded by natural green space and parks, including Priory Memorial Park and Therfield Heath nature reserve, which is home to Royston Golf Course, a tennis club and a café.

The community spirit is demonstrated by the popular annual Arts Festival and the Kite Festival where people bring their own picnics and camping chairs and sit back and enjoy spectacular professional kite displays. The town has a leisure centre and community cinema—The Royston Picture Palace at the Town Hall—as well as numerous shops and eateries. Hidden under across a crossroads in the centre of the town is Royston Cave, an ancient man-made hollow decorated with medieval carvings. Discovered in 1742, the origins are shrouded in mystery and you can learn more and take a tour at the visitor centre.
