    It's held at Brockworth, which is on the A46 between Gloucester and Stroud. Look at www.cheese-rolling.co.uk for maps etc. www.whatsonwhen.com/events/~31298.jml says you can get bus 10 or 30 from Gloucester. However, it's on bank holiday Monday, so you need to check whether any buses will be running (they often have a very limited/ no service on bank holidays). I suggest you email/phone the Gloucester tourist information office and ask them about buses(google the UK pages on www.google.co.uk for gloucester tourist information). Otherwise, your only option is a taxi, which might be quite expensive. Also, do be aware that the event has, on occasion, been cancelled by the police (on safety grounds, although I have no idea what criteria they use). Hope this helps a bit.
