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.

2nd March 2018 - the 'Beast from the East' has massively reduced the volume of traffic on Bradford Road

The Bradford Road at Rudloe with the Hannick/Bellway speculative greenfield development site to the right

Bellway's 'V Stack' (apparently) sign advertises 3- and 4-bedroom houses on this Rudloe greenfield site with the appellation 'Dickens Gate'

The beech enriches the wintry landscape at the entrance to Rudloe Estate

The Redcliffe 'Park Place' speculative greenfield development seen from the Rudloe-Hudswell byway on 2nd March 2018. According to Shelter, developers looking to maximise profit, are refusing to build required and agreed affordable homes.

Halfway Firs from the Bradford Road. This gate was, back in the 60s/70s the entrance to Rudloe's football field; the field is owned by Hanson who propose (planning permission received) a new entrance (and substantial buildings) to Hartham quarry here.
