Rolling cheese down a hill should be part of any UK holiday. (With chasing alongside it, dusting it off and adding it to bread with pickles afterwards, natch.) But if you’d like to do it officially for once instead of getting funny looks hurling dairy products down a hill yet again in your local park, the annual cheese-rolling festival at Cooper’s Hill in Gloucestershire is the place to go: Cooper’s Hill is also a stop on the long-distance trail the Cotswold Way if you’d like to take your cheese further.
More wholesome activities from your Gloucestershire campsite include trips to Cheltenham for getting over-excited at the races, cantering along paths in the Forest of Dean, pottering around the Hogwarts scenes at Gloucester Cathedral and gallivanting around one of Cheltenham and Gloucester’s many festivals: see ‘Nearby Events’ at the side of each Gloucestershire listing to find out what’s on near your campsite, or check the ‘Local Attractions’ section of each listing for info on Gloucestershire attractions, must-sees and activities.
