Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling

Brockworth

The famous race where people chase a wheel of Double Gloucester cheese down a very steep hill near Gloucester. It is usually held on the late May bank holiday Monday. It is not an official ticketed event, and local safety officials have warned people to think carefully about the risks before going.
