Cheese-rolling still goes on at Cooper's Hill, Brockworth, and at Randwick near Stroud (both in Gloucestershire) so far as I know; formerly it seems to have been more widespread. There's an account of an occasion at Uffington (Berkshire) in Thomas Hughes' book The Scouring of the White Horse (1859). It's a pretty dangerous activity by all accounts.
