Many people walk down Melbourn Street, Royston, without realising what is beneath their feet. This image by JohnArgentProdcutions perfectly shows the position of the cave and tunnel. Tickets to visit for public tours are now available to buy online via our website.

An amazing photo created by JohnArgentProductions shows the cave position under the road, the tunnel and the east shaft location near the top of the cave. We love these photographs ! Thank you to John Ambler for providing these images.

Christmas in the cave 🎄

The beautiful poppies in Priory Gardens.
'At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them.'

The Catherine Wheel firework is thought to be named after St Catherine, who was condemned to death by the means of a spiked wheel. Legend says that when she touched the wheel it splintered into a 1000 pieces. Seen here holding the wheel, we believe she is one of the most iconic carvings in the cave!

The public season may be finished at the cave, but we have many events planned. A mid-week tour on St Katherine's feast day, festive Christmas tours in December and two meditation sessions on the winter solstice are all available to book online.

Our favourite tours of the year are now on sale !
