Scenes of motorbike and car racing on a beach, presumably Southport sands. Also contains footage of Dunstanburgh castle, garden scenes, tennis action, two men rowing a boat on a lake (possibly Derwentwater), a small lizard scampering over sand dunes. There is a short comic scene featuring a man, his driver and a car before the reel ends with a small crowd of people, including three men in naval uniform, rigging up a zipwire and testing it.
