We see a man mowing a lawn; a view of the river at Bourton on the Water in Gloucestershire and shots of the model village; at a village fete (Roade?) we see sheepdog trials as well as a man walking on hot coals. We then cut to a seaside holiday with views of a punch and judy show, shots from a cliff top looking down at a busy beach and views of a small town which includes a funicular railway (Babbacombe in Devon?). We then see a toddler playing in a back garden followed by more views of a model village. A cricket match is seen being played in a field followed by paddling on a beach. We then see a fete which includes country dancing. A colour section follows with boating on a river and in the sea. At another (?) fete we see a tug of war competition and races for adults including a sack race. There are views of a ruined church and trains going over a large viaduct over a river and then views of ships in a bay (end sequence in Scotland?)
