Roydon Woods
is a mixture of woodland, pastures, ponds, heaths and river.
Roydon Woods in spring is carpeted by bluebells, in the summer
months nightjars frequent the heathland, while autumn is the time
to search for fungi which
grows in abundance and in winter large numbers of fieldfares and redwings can
be seen feeding on the hawthorn berries.
The woodland is home to two rare species of butterfly; theWhite
AdmiralandPearl-bordered
Fritillaryand to three species of deer;
