Royston & District Group

Although members joining the Ramblers' Association are only automatically allocated to this Group if they live in Royston or villages in Hertfordshire with an SG8 postcode, many members from elsewhere including Buntingford and South Cambridgeshire regularly walk with us. We welcome members from places further afield, who enjoy walking with this small, friendly group. Prospective members are always welcome - so why not join us on one of our walks?
