Roydon is a small village and civil parish in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk, England. It lies a short distance from the market town of King's Lynn, set within the flat, agricultural landscape of west Norfolk with the arable fields, drainage channels and meadows that characterise the area.
With medieval roots, the village retains a distinctly rural character - scattered historic buildings, farmsteads and modest community facilities. Local life is largely shaped by farming, a handful of small businesses and commuters travelling into nearby towns, while a quiet social scene of village groups and occasional local events helps maintain a close‑knit community feel.
