Cooper's Hill Cheese Roll

  • Gloucester England (map)

The Cooper's Hill Cheese Roll is an annual event held on Cooper's Hill near Gloucester, England. The event involves a thrilling and unique race where participants chase a large wheel of cheese down a steep hill. Competitors run or tumble after the 9-pound cheese, with the first person to cross the finish line at the bottom of the hill winning the cheese. The race is known for its dangerous nature, with steep inclines and high speeds. It draws large crowds of spectators and has become a beloved, albeit unconventional, tradition in the UK.
