Roydon is a small village and civil parish in South Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk, lying close to the market town of Diss and the Norfolk–Suffolk border. Set in gently rolling agricultural countryside with pockets of woodland, the settlement retains a clearly historic core of red-brick and flint cottages and older farm buildings that hint at medieval origins.
Local life is quietly rural, centred on farming, a village hall and occasional community events, while many residents commute via nearby Diss railway links to Norwich and beyond, making Roydon attractive to those seeking country living within easy reach of larger towns.
