Protecting Cabbages from butterflies

Hello Everyone
Last year my cabbages were ravaged by butterflies so this year I'm after your tips and how stop this happening again . Don't really want to use nets as I don't like the look of it . So any tips would come in great
Thanks
Baz

I thought I had stunning heads of broccoli last year, but when I cut them, the heads were crawling with caterpillars - not just a few but masses of them - the whole lot went on the compost. I doubt I'll try growing brassicas again.
