Hiking

Every May, on the Spring Bank Holiday weekend, thousands of people gather on Cooper’s Hill to witness one of the most bizarre annual traditions England has to offer: cheese rolling. The world-famous event, which has been running for hundreds of years, sees more than 40 contests chase a rolling cheese wheel down Cooper’s Hill. The nine-pound (five kg) wheel of Double Gloucester cheese reaches speeds of over 70 miles an hour. The first runner to get to the bottom of the hill wins the contest — and the cheese!
