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.

I thought that these 'Walks in the Time of Covid' were over but with 170 deaths announced yesterday (for the previous day, 16th August 2021) it would appear not. Two walks for the price of one here, the first to Biddestone (via Slaughterford) on 14th August 2021, the second to Browne's Folly at Monkton Farleigh the following day. In the title picture, we see the church of St John the Baptist at Colerne and the holiday cottages of Widdenham Farm in the valley.

John, having just completed the Three Peaks Challenge (Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon) should find the going easier here at Widdenham

Spot, a Holstein-Fresian, at Widdenham. Milk cows have been selectively bred to produce higher milk yields at the expense of welfare.
