Again the road is shown with a cyclist on it. Then there is a sign for the ‘Town Centre’ and a bus drives through The Stray. Another double decker red bus goes around a roundabout and a steam passenger train passes under a railway bridge, schoolgirls cross a busy road in the town centre and there are people sitting on benches in some gardens and opposite the Railway Station. Traffic passes around West Park and the War Memorial. Other places visited in the town centre include the Royal Baths and the Valley Gardens, showing the flowers in bloom and the Tea House. People are strolling through the woods and out in the countryside near a stream. Two girls climb over some rocks, along with other people looking out over a valley. Others sit outside some tea rooms and then they continue their walk. They pass a tall square tower with a round glass dome on the top, looking over the surrounding countryside.
The film switches to a street sign for Knaresborough (with the last three letters broken off). Cars drive into the town and pedestrians walk over the bridge. They visit Conyngham Hall and walk around the grounds. People are out boating on the River Nidd, while others picnic on the grassy verges. Then on to do a tour of the Castle grounds, looking across the town from the top. There is a sign for Dropping Well and Mother Shipton’s Cave. Visitors walk around the cave, and there is a shot of 'the House in the Rock'. People stroll along by the river. They take the public footpath to Crag Top. Shoppers mill around the stalls of the Market Place, with the Tudor café in the background. The film finishes with a view down a narrow street.
