Hopton Fen is a 15.3-hectare (38-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest north of Hopton in Suffolk. [1] [2] It is managed by the Suffolk Wildlife Trust. [3]

This reed-dominated fen has diverse flora, including devil's bit scabious, black bog-rush, bogbeana and early marsh orchid. The Trust is improving the site by excavating new pools, and introducing grazing to restore the open landscape. [3] [4]

There is access by a footpath from Hopton.
