The area consists of large mixed forest hills surrounded by an open cultural landscape with pastures, meadows and woodland. It is rich in cultural artefacts, including a large Iron Age burial ground in the south-western part.

In Röllingbybackar there are dry and fresh meadow areas with a flora consisting of species such as wild bread, St John's wort, timothy, wild oats, dogbane, hemp thistle, daisy and small and large bluebells. In the forest to the north-east, there are two small stands of the orchids night-flowering violet and maidenhair fern.

Röllingby hills are part of the Angarn-Bogesund wedges.

The Blue Trail passes partly through the area, and there are also several pleasant walking trails along the cultural landscape.
