Welcome to the Rudloe and environs website.

Here you will find news, articles and photos of an area that straddles the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in north-west Wiltshire.

Contributions in the form of articles or photos are welcome. Even those with completely contrary views to mine!

Thanks to the website builder 1&1 and Rob Brown for the original idea.

Rudloescene now, in January 2014, has a sister, academic rather than anarchic, website about Box history here: http://www.boxpeopleandplaces.co.uk/

It contains thoroughly professional, well-researched articles about Box and its people.

This 'Localities' section is centred on Rudloe - the other 'localities' are at all compass points from there. The photos in each locality were taken over many years during walks, usually with our hounds. During the early walks, in the late seventies, I would curse that I hadn't taken my camera when I came across a beautiful view - so I vowed to take my camera on any and every walk from that time.
