In the rolling countryside near Gloucester, England, stands the now-famous Cooper's Hill. One day each spring, people send large wheels of artisanal Double Gloucester cheese down the hill at speeds up to about 70 miles per hour. Chasing each wheel is a pack of contestants. Some of them roll, while others just fall over. Long a contained, local affair, over time the Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake (meaning festival) started drawing international crowds to watch or compete in this seriously risky game. In the May 2018 event, Chris “King of the Hill” Anderson set the all-time record, with a career total of 22 cheese wheels. Ending the day without mishaps, although the longtime cheese racer has been injured in past years. And Flo Early, winner of the 2018 women's competition, did dislocate her shoulder. No longer officially supported because of increased crowds, the cheese race continues on its own momentum.

How to Make Double Gloucester Style Cheese
Double Gloucester cheese is a traditional, full fat, hard cheese made from pasteurised or unpasteurised cow's milk. The cheese is traditionally made from the milk of once nearly extinct Old Gloucester cows.
Gloucester cheese comes in both single and double varieties. While Single Gloucester is made from skimmed milk, Double Gloucester uses full fat milk of at least 3.5% MF. In addition, Double Gloucester is twice the height of Single Gloucester and more flavoursome.
The double variety has a smooth and buttery texture, rich and nutty yet mellow flavour and apricot colour thanks to the addition of annatto plant extract. Vegetarian rennet is used and the cheese is aged for at least 4 months. If the cheese is allowed to age further, it will develop more complex and nutty flavours. Moreover, the texture tends to become very hard and flaky.

Visiting Gloucestershire England
Visiting Gloucestershire in England can be a surprisingly fun thing to do. Gloucestershire is a historic county mentioned in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle in the 10th century, though the areas of Winchcombe and the Forest of Dean were not added until the late 11th century. Gloucestershire originally included the small town of Bristol. The local rural community moved to the port city, (as Bristol was to become) and Bristols population growth accelerated during the industrial revolution. Here are some things to do and see while visiting Gloucestershire, England:
Cheese Rolling: Britain is a treasure chest of old customs and Gloucester is no exception. Where else can you see people throwing themselves down a near vertical hill to catch a large Double Gloucester Cheese. Situated on Coopers Hill, a few miles from central Gloucester, the Cheese Roll takes place every May Bank Holiday. It is a very dangerous pastime and very dangerous = great fun!. This is the original extreme sport and it attracts TV crews from all over the world!
Prinknash Abbey: Situated in near the village of Cranham, (very close to the foot of the Cheese Roll!), is the beautiful Prinknash Abbey. Still inhabited by monks and with a working pottery it attracts many visitors from the UK and abroad. It also has a bird park and picnic area as well as a fabulous gift shop. Very tranquil and very interesting.
Gloucester Historic Docks: Right in the centre of the city is the fabulous Victorian docks. Now it is home to many businesses including retail outlets, bars and museums. Gloucester Waterways Museum details life on the waterways with photos and artefacts and interactive computer features. Outside there are a steam dredger, a barge a tugboat and several narrow boats all helping paint the picture. You can also take river cruises from the museum.
The Docks are also home to the Soldiers of Gloucester Museum telling the story of both the Gloucester Regiment and the Hussars.
Gloucester Antique Centre is also situated here. A Fascinating place where you can browse or haggle on all things old from ceramics, clocks and watches, jewellery, glassware furniture, books etc etc. The list is endless.
Gloucester Quays is a discount designer outlet centre with many bargains to be had!
If you are visiting on a Saturday look out for the model boat club sailing every sort of vessel including Warships, paddle boats and Submarines.
Sudely Castle: Home to the families of Lord and Lady Ashcombe and Henry and Mollie Dent-Brocklehurst, Sudely Castle is a fantastic day out.
Learn the history of this wonderful medieval site and explore the award winning gardens. There is also an adventure park for the more energetic visitor and a Pheasantry. Visit St Marys church where Katherine Parr lies buried and if you are getting married you may want to consider Sudely as the venue for your big day.
With numerous exhibitions and acres of grounds Sudely Castle is a great day out.
