This is a family film featuring two boys, David and Richard, on trips to Whitby and Worth Valley Railway.
The film begins with children on a miniature railway, and then going around a boating pool and in a paddling pool. There is a sign for Whitby. Two boys, David and Richard, go on a racing car circuit and then on hand propelled peddle boats. They are then walking along a wooded path with their mother. One boy stands on top of a monument surveying the surrounding view from on high. They visit the Crick Tram Museum, in 1974, where we catch a brief glimpse of a steam locomotive.
The film switches to home, with Richard riding a bicycle in the garden. It switches again to the Worth Valley Railway on 27 July 1975, with the Evening Star steam locomotive (92220) pulling a train and being shunted around. Then back to Whitby, with the boys again on hand propelled peddle boats and then canoes, before returning to the Worth Valley Railway and then on the miniature railway at Peasholme Park in the late 1970s.
