Laris Farm

Advantages: Good time piece models
Disadvantages: none

...This farming family 40954 made by Britain's has been around for several years I have played with it in several different play venues. Britain's makes authentically detailed farm equipment models scale 1:32 There are tractors combiners and other vehicles plus animals for the farm. So to tend the animals, drive the vehicles we need some people. The people in this farm family group are about 5cms tall .Recommended for over 3 year olds.

Advantages: a nice break
Disadvantages: British weather

...I fancied going away for the weekend but didn't want to go far or spend a fortune, I didn't even want to spend £100 a night for a basic hotel so I searched for guest houses in the lake district as we don't live far from there and the countryside is lovely.

The farm is in the small village of Bucklebury which is probably about halfway between Reading and Newbury and is roughly six miles along the A4 from Junction 12 of the M4. There is a brown tourist signpost signalling where you leave the main road and then it is a couple of miles along some country lanes. There is quite a large free car park when you arrive. The farm is quite small but having said that is home to a host of different animals including four different breeds of deer. These are Sika, Fallow, Red and Axis deer. The highlight of any trip to the farm... Read review
