"(In Royston) you will find one of the strangest sights in Britain. Royston Cave was hacked by hand from the chalk beneath the main crossroads, creating a circular chamber. The medieval carvings on the wall suggest that it was used as a 13th-century place of worship by the Knights Templar. To find such a creation in small-town Hertfordshire is extraordinary ... well worth visiting if you want to come up with a Da Vinci Code-like conspiracy theory."
