This film documents a family’s travels and days out in Israel, Helmsley, the Port of Hull, and other villages around North Yorkshire.  The first features a family holiday in Israel including St. Mary’s Well, Nazareth.  The second was taken during a day horseback riding in and around Helmsley, North Yorkshire. A group of people are walking around the historic ruins of Akkos, in Israel. A woman in a red flowery dress, sunglasses and a headscarf poses for the camera.  There is a sign for “Crusader Street”.   They continue to walk around the ruins, near the sea.  Further off there is a beach and a lighthouse.  Then there is a sign for The Church of Annunciation and St Mary’s Well, Nazareth.  There is a shot of the church and people walking around the town.  The holidaymakers then travel through the countryside filled with fields of corn.  There is a view of a large expanse of water, possibly an inland sea, villages and a café with a view high up.  The woman in the headscarf walks through some narrow streets.  The sea’s waves lap onto the coast near a town with a church, or perhaps it is a synagogue.  A man with a chin curtain beard stands on a hotel balcony overlooking the swimming pool.   They then visit an ancient open Roman theatre, partly in ruins, followed by more views of green fields.  They are next at a market, wandering around the stalls selling clothes, fruit and vegetables.  They pose next to a camel and then visit another town. Back in England, there is a small light aircraft.  Two children, with their mother and in riding gear, pose for the camera near some stables.  The mother leads one of her daughters around on a pony, while a man leads a small boy around a field.  There are more children at the stables, going out riding in the fields and around a village, passing the “Garden Shop.”  A hunt assembles outside the Black Swan Hotel in Helmsley village centre, including members of the family earlier seen on holiday.  They hunters are given drinks before setting off, passing Barclays Bank and the Co-op.  There is more footage of the children again out on ponies near a large house. The film switches again to show the mother walking along the boarding bridge to the Hull to Rotterdam Ferry.  The family Rolls Royce is lifted off the ferry at the other end.  They journey past a windmill before arriving at the Atomium (part of Brussels World's Fair, Expo '58).  The family are next on a small boat on a lake with their pet dog, and are then seen on a bigger boat, the “Fantasy”, before we see a small aircraft (310G), part of the Bradley group, on a small airfield. A group of people are dressed in historic costumes.  They ride on horse and in wagons passing the Fairfax Arms Hotel, at Gilling East, North Yorkshire.  They stop at the White Swan Hotel between Helmsley, 4 miles away and Wass, 2 miles away, presumably on the A170.  We then see the Abbey Inn, and an Abbey ruin, possibly Rievaulx, and the Fauconberg Arms, possibly in Coxwold. There are more people in historic costume before the film finishes back on the boat seen earlier.
