In the summer of 1953, Eli Simpson set out to make a film for the British Speleological Association called The Birth of a Yorkshire River or The Waters of Mawn. The film collection is comprised of rushes he shot at locations such as Ingleborough Cave, Malham Cove, and Hull Pot, all located in the Yorkshire Dales, and many of the films include both interior and exterior footage of the caves. This film features the surrounding landscape of Chaple-le-Dale. Near a shed, an old man walks towards the camera. On the other side of the frame, another man appears and walks towards the rocks. The filmmaker uses a panning shot to view the countryside where cows are grazing. A woman walks along a rocky path, and two women walk near a stream.
