Coopers hill is famous for the Cotswold tradition of cheese rolling, where people hurl themselves down the hill, chasing a cheese!

This walk starts at the edge of Coopers Hill Nature Reserve and climbs up and past the famous cheese rolling landmark, where you can get a sense of just how steep it is. You then descend into the magical woodland where you can see carpets of bluebells in may and the beautiful aroma of wild garlic.

If you like woodland walks, especially if it's a hot day and you want some shade, then this is a good walk for you. You also pass a small stream on this walk as you walk a section of the Cotswold Way. Please be aware that there are some steep and uneven sections on this walk and it may get muddy and overgrown at times. There is also a short section of road walking.
