This site was taken over by wet woodland in the twentieth century, but the Trust has restored the eastern end to fen by mowing, and it has many typical fen plants such as marsh helleborine, marsh fragrant orchid and sawsedge.{{cite web|url= http://www.suffolkwildlifetrust.org/reserves/roydon-fen |title= Roydon Fen |publisher= Suffolk Wildlife Trust |accessdate= 3 July 2017}}
There is access from the Angles Way footpath, which runs along the northern boundary of the site.
