If you’re looking for a mini adventure with plenty of fresh air and fun, Over Farm near Gloucester are running a family farm summer trail until the end of August.   Don’t forget to book online in advance.

Local Mum Sarah visited with her 2 kids and has kindly shared her review.

We did the summer trial today at Over Farm and it was so much fun! The beginning of the trial takes you to see the pigs, horses and goats then you head up into the trail itself.

Before you start the trail there’s lots of interactive play elements such as balancing beams, musical chimes, tyre jumping and a huge slide.

Once inside there’s a letter hunt to find the secret word…we are NOT telling you what it is  and there’s an activity sheet to complete. The kids also enjoyed looking inside the bug hotel and sitting on Henry the tractor!

Once the trail is completed you come out into more fields with ostriches in and there’s more interactive games and great big bouncing pillows to jump on and hay bails to climb up and down…the kids definitely burnt off lots of energy!! And a big thank you for their lollies at the end for completing their activity sheets.

Other attractions: there are fair ground rides independent of the trail priced at £10 for 12 tokens most rides are 2/3 tokens per ride.  There’s also lovely farm shop selling local produce – we recommend the quiche and gorgeous homemade pasties!

All in all a great way to spend a few hours. Prices child £5 and adult £4 suitable for all ages and pushchairs.
