The film opens with a cartoon title. A train goes through a tunnel as the word "Wales" is displayed. Next is an exterior shot of the Festinog Railway Harbour Station and the platform at Portmadoc. A steam engine pulls into the platform, and there is a sign warning against the dangers of walking along the railway line. The engine attaches to a train, and there is footage taken of the scenic countryside from the moving train. There is also footage of waterfalls after the family has left the train. At Swallow Falls tourists make their way over bridges and steps, touring around the area and taking in the sites of the waterfalls and surrounding woodlands.
