Roydon Common, Nature reserve in Norfolk, England.
The 360-hectare Roydon Common contains diverse habitats including heathland, acid bog, wet carr woodland, and expansive grassland areas for wildlife conservation.
The land underwent substantial changes when Grimston Warren transformed from a pine plantation into restored heathland, creating new habitats for local species.
Norfolk Wildlife Trust maintains this site as part of the Gaywood Valley Living Landscape program, protecting natural environments across the region.
The reserve features multiple walking paths and a main parking area, with free entry available to visitors from sunrise to sunset throughout the year.
The reserve holds the distinction of being the only location in East Anglia where visitors can observe the raft spider in its natural habitat.
