Description

Scenes from a Leach family holiday to the Isle of Man. We see scenes described as being from Peel. We see street scenes, the children building castles on the beach and swimming in the sea, and scenes from a ruined castle. We also see the family watching fishermen at work, unloading fish from their boat onto a lorry. The family also do some fishing in the sea. At Port Erin we see the family on the beach and taking a ride on a heritage steam train. We also see a horse-drawn tram. At Castletown we see views of the area and they visit historical ruins. At Laxey we see the family walking in the hills and looking at sheep. They also visit a water mill. There is also a trip to a park with lots of types of birds, including pelicans, penguins and flamingos. At Ramsey the family have a picnic then take a boat out on to a boating lake and walk along the seafront. The film ends with sunset views.
