Intertitle – Of the numerous short excursions from Larne, Island Magee, reached by ferry, is one of the most popular. The couple cross to Island Magee on a small boat. Intertitle – It is from Larne that one starts the journey along the famous Antrim Coast road. A short section of the road is filmed from the front of a moving car. Intertitle – For 25 miles this wonderful road, close to the sea, unwinds itself past massive cliffs, sandy bays and quaint little villages. An elderly couple stop and get out of their car on the road. Intertitle – “The Madman’s Window” is one of the striking features of the limestone rocks.  They walk around the rocks before getting back into their chauffeur driven car and riving off. Intertitle – From the lovely gardens of Garron Tower the visitor may view the magnificent coastline. The couple walk through the garden to the top of the cliff, overlooking the sea.  Intertitle – Glenariff is the most famous of the nine glens of Antrim approached from the Coast Road. Several views of the Glen are shown, with a girl walking through a small hamlet. Intertitle – This lovely wooded valley set amongst the high hills reveals to the visitor the charm and beauty of the countryside. There are more views of the valley. In a field a farmer steers a horse drawn sled picking up hay, which is being made into bundles.  The young couple lay on the grass, with the man teasing the woman, who lies with her eyes closed, with a piece of straw.  They wander along a path through the wood.  Intertitle – Through the Glen the river descends in a series of beautiful waterfalls.  They stand under a waterfall before walking to a gypsy caravan where the woman has her palms read by a young woman, Madame Anadine, “a real gypsy”. Intertitle – There are few pleasanter places for a holiday than Cushendall. The couple walk along a busy street in the town before going to the beach and a swim in the sea. Here one can enjoy safe bathing and all the delights of an outdoor holiday. The couple play with a beach ball, and then lay on the sand to sunbathe. The man rubs suntan lotion onto the woman’s back.  A group of women and children have a picnic nearby.  The couple walk down a country road. Intertitle – A few miles away is Cushendun another quiet holiday place situated in a beautiful bay. The small village is shown, with a bridge over a river leading to the sea.  The elderly couple sit on the veranda of a hotel being served tea and cakes, looking across the bay.    Intertitle – High among the moors between Cushendoun and Ballycastle is Loughareema, the mysterious vanishing lake.  The elderly couple walk over a narrow road which goes across the lake. Intertitle – With no visible outlet the waters completely disappear after a period of dry weather. They continue to walk around the lake. Intertitle – On a sandy bay stretching to Fair Island is Ballycastle. People are shown walking along the bay Intertitle – Noted for its golf and tennis it is becoming increasingly popular.

The couple walk around the bay, dotted with white houses.  They stop to take some photos and the film ends with the sea lapping against the shore.   End of Part Three One minute interval
