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.

Contact rudloescene through the 'Contact' page.

18th April 2015 - the calm before the development storm. Working our way down the Bradford Road from Rudloe, the fields in these photographs are the subject of speculative planning applications from Hannick Homes, Redcliffe Homes and Gladman. In the remaining field, a new mine entrance and associated buildings are proposed by Hanson.
