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 webpage should more readily be described as 'Along the A4 twixt Chequers and Box Hill - Nov 2022'. The photos were taken on 18th and 19th November 2022. The title photo shows a beech close to the Cross Keys junction.

Beech at the foot of Chequers Hill on 19th November 2022. Two farms (buildings) lie beyond - Chequers Farm and Mynte Farm. Bill Hadfield's (see photos elsewhere) workshop was at Mynte Farm.
