"Studley and Fountains"
"Beautiful is Fountains at all times, enchanting in spring is the melody of birds, perhaps the most lovely at the fall of the leaf".
A sign post points towards "Studley Rocer", "Fountains Abbey (via Studley Park" and "B5265 Pateley Bridge 9 ?". There is a large crucifix behind.
Five people go down a country lane on horses. A car drives past with the registration "XY 534". Then the camera looks at a country house with a woman in a yellow dress walking past, pushing a pram. A group walks under a stone archway with a dog, one of the women in the group pushing a pram. Cows wander past the camera. Deer stand in a fenced area, many with large antlers. They seem to look towards the camera.
There are then shots of a church. From inside, the camera examines the stained glass windows. People walk around between a body of water and a yellow house. One young girl feeds the ducks, and she is wearing a pink knee length dress. There are many ducklings swimming on the water. There are also people walking through a park on a path. The grass is full of Snowdrop flowers.

There are numerous statues in the water, of birds and people. A columned building can be seen in the background. There are then shots of a country house and another inside shot of a stained glass window. This is followed by a look at some of the interior architecture, for example carvings in stone and the fireplace.
There is a shot of the abbey and people walking around it. Then the camera looks at a wooden model of how the abbey would have looked before being ruined.
