Starting at Chesters near Humshaugh views of the 18th century house and gardens showing an entrance with pillars or columns at the back of the house. This is followed by a view of a single storey building which maybe a cottage or stables.
Three people walk up a driveway towards the camera followed by a colourful collection of flowers in a greenhouse(?). Flower beds displaying lupins (?), and roses are next.
At the front of the house three people walk across the lawn followed by more views of flower beds. A woman walks from right to left in front of a flower bed near the house. The front of the house is shown again, then the film cuts to a view of a castle type tower with a flag flying.
Views follow of an extensive lawn and gardens, a white dovecot stands in the middle of one of the lawns. A brief view of the house is followed by a view between the two tall pillars of the gateway to a view of fields and forests.
In a churchyard a man walks between gravestones towards the camera.
