A country show taking place in fields near to the North Yorkshire village of Fylingthorpe recorded by farmers wife Bernice Ward in 1964. Large dray-horses are paraded with two of them dressed in decorative harnesses. Huntsmen and their hounds also feature being paraded around the showground as well as a sheepdog trial taking place in a nearby field. In the second part of the film views from the churchyard of the Church of St Mary of the River Esk and town of Whitby below as well as the nearby Whitby Abbey.
A family group with dogs stands beside a car is followed by several large dray-horses being looked over or walked near to several caravans and wagon. Two of the horses are dressed in decorative harnesses and then led to and around a showground.
A woman on horseback, she wears a label on her back with the number 193. Several dray-horses are led across a field changing to two huntsmen in distinct red jackets on horseback leading a pack of hounds several times around a showground.
Owners and the dogs are paraded around the central area of the showground while along the far edge horses are either ridden or led past a row of parked cars. The riders pick up speed into a canter before standing in a line atop their horses.
In the distance a sheepdog herds a flock of sheep around a field. A car is parked in the field, and someone stands beside it. A couple watch the trial from behind a wooden fence as the shepherd and his dog herd the sheep towards the car.
From the cliffs in the churchyard of the Church of St Mary at Whitby the East and West Piers below.

In a nearby field a man tends to several horses changing to visitors climbing and descending the 199 Steps. The film ends on various boats and ships moored on the River Esk around Whitby.
