The film opens with a sequence of shots of buildings from various villages in the Cotswolds; there are many Tudor style buildings, flowers and trees. There are also some ruins and shots of a cricket match.
The following shots are taken from the miniature village in Bourton-on-the-Water. It was made by a local inn keeper and is located in the garden of the inn. The voiceover says that there is a miniature in the model. There are large crowds of people wandering around the miniature village.
The following section takes place in Stratford-Upon-Avon. There is a sequence of shots of a Shakespeare statue, the town centre, a sign for `Shakespeare's Birthplace trust, The Birthplace of William Shakespeare' and `Anne Hathaway's Cottage'. There are crowds of visitors wandering around the town and the sights in the sun.
In the next section are shots of signs for `The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust-Nash's House and New Place Foundations', which is followed by shots of the buildings and visitors going in and out of them.
The next place that is filmed is `Shakespeare's Birthplace Trust, the Great Garden of New Place', where visitors walk around very large gardens full of colourful flowers; a gardener works on one of the flower beds.
