Royston’s most famous landmark is once again open to visitors.
Royston Cave opened its doors again on Saturday after being closed during the winter months.
A total of 58 visitors were welcomed into the cave for its grand opening.
Cave manager James Robinson said: “The cave is totally unique and there is nothing else like it anywhere else in the world. The people that came were fascinated by the carvings and the cave’s unique atmosphere.
“I have yet to have a visitor that was unimpressed and this weekend was no exception. It was a great start to the season.”
