Royston, a civil parish in the district of North Hertfordshire, combines the tranquillity of the countryside with historical wonders. The town, a meeting point for the Roman roads of Ermine Street and the Icknield Way, boasts a population of just over 15,000. Steeped in history, its origins can be traced to "Roisia's Cross", a cross erected at the crossroads that lent its name to the settlement. Its rich tapestry includes the royal hunting lodge of King James VI and revered establishments such as the Augustinian priory and the hospitals of St John, St Thomas and St Nicholas.

Officials at Royston Town Council, North Hertfordshire District Council and Hertfordshire County Council work tirelessly to uphold the town's magnificence and preserve its history as told by the town's coat of arms which reflects its Tudor connections along with its significant ecclesiastical past. Conveniently located near major road links and airports, Royston is also just a stone's throw from popular English towns such as Cambridge, Letchworth and Saffron Walden.

When to visit Royston

The idyllic cobbled streets of Royston welcome visitors throughout the year, but the sweet spot lies in the balmy months of late July, August and June, when the average daytime temperature hovers around a pleasant 22.5°C. During these summer months, the nighttime temperature rarely drops below 11.3°C, making it the perfect time for strolls in the moonlight or al fresco dining. If you're looking for a bargain, December's festive charm comes with the added attraction of being the least expensive month to visit. However, don’t discount the spring months which offer delightful weather and great deals, coupled with fewer tourists. So slap on some sunscreen and prepare to dive into the enchantment that is Royston.
