The Cooper's Hill Cheese Rolling and Wake

The Cooper's Hill Cheese Rolling and Wake is a 200-year-old competition held annually in the Cotswolds region of England. Drawing both local and international participants, the race begins when a round of Double Gloucester cheese is set loose at the top of a steep hill.

How did their rivalry begin? More... Discuss
