Title: The Cleveland Boys
Title: and their adventure in Yorkshire at Eastertime
Beside a moorland Celtic cross, a group of boys prepares to go hiking with some putting on hiking socks and rucksacks. One boy counts coins while others relax in the heather chatting. A man eats an apple while looking at a map.
The group head off along a moorland track and cross a stream using stepping stones. They approach Wheeldale Lodge, the famous Youth Hostel Association (YHA) emblem is embossed on a gate as they enter the garden. The boys sit on benches outside the house.
Title: Wheeldale Lodge, and it’s a bonny morning!
Outside the hostel the group prepares to leave, some sitting on the bench outside while others check maps. They are watched leaving by a man standing in the doorway of the hostel. They walk along a moorland road stopping at a road sign which indicates that Goathland is half a mile away.
Beside the road entering the village a couple feeds a sheep scraps, three boys sit on a bench outside a large stone house. The rest of the group sits on the grass nearby.
A large sign reads ‘This Way to Mallyan Spout' and the boys walk along a path alongside a stream passing a number of small waterfalls. One boy crosses the stream using stepping stones.
Title: A Super Picnic at Beck Hole!
The boys walk through a field of feeding cattle, cross a footbridge, and rest on the far side. Three boys look through a window at the Birch Hall Inn while others sit inside. The group continues their hike walking along the railway track of The North Yorkshire Moors Railway. They walk towards a stationary train and pass sheds containing other locomotives. They make their way to Grosmont where a vintage diesel passenger train stands on the platform of the railway station.
Title: Meet the Busy Fishermen at Whitby
The boys watch fishermen repair their nets along the fish quay at Whitby or on their boats. The boys climb the 199 Steps to the Whitby Abbey.
Title: Happy Times at Robin Hoods Bay and along the coast
Two boys walk along one of the many narrow roads in Robin Hoods Bay while the rest of the group wander the village busy with visitors. A man looks out suspiciously from a window of ‘The Old Bakery & Cafe'.
The group makes its way along a windswept coastal path. They stop for a break and three boys boil water on a small stove and pass mugs of tea around to the rest of the group. Sitting on a small earthen bank the boys listen to one of the group play a tin whistle, a second boy beside him plays a recorder.
They watch gulls flying around the cliffs later an older boy walks along a road in Scarborough.
Title: Welcome to Scarborough
The group walk past a number of amusement arcades and ice cream parlours along the seafront and the film ends with them looking over a stall selling fresh seafood.
