Title – Cornwall
The film begins showing the new and old Coventry cathedrals. There is then a sign for The Wildlife Trust. A boy in his school coat and cap goes around the bird sanctuary taking pictures of the birds, accompanied by his mother pushing a pushchair with his younger sister in it. They then visit Cheddar Gorge before arriving at Newquay. The boy and girl pose with the adults in the doorway of a house. A boat is being towed into the sea before the family drive along the coast, past Porlock, and down Countisbury Hill. They stop off, and the father and the two children pose for the camera. Later on the two children play on the rocks by the sea and make sand castles. They go on a boating lake with hand propelled boats and then to a cafe. There is a view over a coastal village harbour, where they walk around, followed by a road sign for Padstow. Again the children play on the rocks by the sea. And make sand castles while the two adults lie in the sun, with the waves lapping against the shore.
They visit a small airfield and film light-craft landing and taking off. They next visit Land’s End, filming the flora and the gulls. They then take a boat trip and arrive at Crantock. Here the children again make sandcastles with their bucket and spades. They can then be seen running around the grounds of a hotel on the coast. A group of adults and children sit on the veranda of the hotel. They again go on a hand-propelled children’s boat.
Back on the coast the children go into a cave before we see them on the beach at Newquay playing and sitting in deckchairs. The two children go paddling in the sea. They then visit Perranporth and St Agnes, again going down to the beach, with the children playing among the rocks as the film comes to an end.
