The Smith family stay in a chalet on Landscove Holiday Village in Brixham, Devon. They visit Berry Head and Brixham harbour and walk around the town. They watch the Paignton and Dartmouth steam train pull into Kingswear station and watch boats leave the Dartmouth harbour, before taking a boat trip themselves towards Dartmouth Castle. At the chalet, Mrs Smith makes jelly and writes postcards before taking a coastal walk with her husband and daughter Hazel. Michael watches cricket on the television, the family take another boat trip and visit Paignton Zoo where they see various animals and feed the zebras. Finally, they board a train at Paignton station.
