This brief film is part of a collection that records a family from York's trips to the coast and countryside around North Yorkshire. The films were all shot by the Lord Mayor of York's son and are a child's view of these days before World War Two. An opening shot captures a boy and man posing together as the boy swings a cricket bat. Next, the two young men walk along a bridge towards the camera; they are followed by two women in hats and coats who also walk in the direction of the camera. The women turn their backs on the camera and walk backwards a few steps. The following shot is of an enclosure full of donkeys grazing; some of them have saddles on their backs. Down on the beach, the young men and several woman links arms and smile at the camera. Then the group are filmed getting out of some cars which have been parked at the side of the road; there are shots of them wandering around and smiling at the camera. The final shots are close-up shots of the young man, the little girl and an older woman who smoothes down her hair.
