Overview

This holiday film follows a journey to the Isle of Wight, first by train and then by ferry - noting warships at their berths in Portsmouth before arriving at a holiday home in Sandown. The couples are seen playing on the beach and in the water - swimming at first before having a go at canoeing. They then tour the island - stopping at Whippingham Church, Osborne House and Carisbrooke Castle - and another tea. After more swimming, tennis and golf it's time to return home on the ferry.
