After passing through a lock, the holidaymakers arrive at a house. Outside there is a sign: Shakespeare's Birthplace Trust, The Birthplace of William Shakespeare Born 1561 Died 1616 April 23rd
The couple tour around the town, and there are shots of some of the scenic views it holds such as the gardens and countryside. The couple get back on the moored boat, and there is a brief shot of the sunset.
The next day, they continue on their journey, and the houses along the riverbank can be seen. There is a train passing over river, a garden by river, a boat "Seville", a train under footbridge, and finally Hatton Locks. The boat continues to move along the river, going through various locks. The film closes with a shot of a sunset and some of the moored boats along this section of the river.
