"For events it's go to be the cheese rolling. I've tried walking up that hill and it's nigh on impossible because it's so steep. You can literally touch the slope with your hand in front of you when you're trying to get up it, like a rock face. People trying to run down it are mad!"
Phil Moss - Local historian, tour guide and author of Historic Gloucester
