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.

March 2014 and the first title image shows the green field which will be lost to development (initially Hannick, then Bellway). In the second image, we move on to April 2014 and spring is sprung in Leafy Lane Wood.
April 2014 - Rudloe roundabout
March 2014 and all greenfield land between Corsham and Rudloe is to be developed - the gallery below shows views in and around the 'lost' pastureland
Skyscapes at Rudloe - 3rd March 2014
Just about all of the views in the gallery below will be lost if either or both of the two speculative Rudloe developments is/are approved by Wilts planners. The aerial view at the foot of the gallery shows the 'strategic gap' that will be lost: the foreground field is the subject of Hannick speculation, the middleground (to the right of the Bradford Road) may succumb to Redcliffe Homes speculation and the distant field to the Gladman speculation at Pickwick.
