Roydon is a small, rural parish in the borough of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, in Norfolk, England. It sits just to the east of King's Lynn on the edge of the fenland landscape, with open arable fields, drainage ditches and long views typical of the area; good road links make the town and the wider county easily accessible.
The settlement has medieval roots and a largely agricultural character, with traditional farmsteads and some surviving historic houses. Socially it remains a close-knit community with a modest programme of local events and village facilities, while economically many people work in farming or commute to nearby centres such as King's Lynn and Norwich; the quiet lanes and wildlife-rich surroundings also make it popular with walkers and birdwatchers.
