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.

Thursday 15th July 2021 brought the first of three Himalayan balsam 'pulling' days on the By Brook at Shockerwick organised by Wiltshire Wildlife Trust (WWT). The title photo shows the attractive flowers and leaves of this invasive plant. WWT is doing its bit to rid the riparian landscape of this invader but across the border in Somerset, the banks of the By Brook and Avon are brimming with it from Shockerwick through Bathford to Lambridge, Kensington Gardens and beyond.
