Overview
Stoll Bailey's film begins with a glimpse of a paddle steamer and a campsite before quickly moving to Lulworth Cove on the Jurassic coast. We see the campers exploring cliffs, rock strata and caves before arriving at Durdle Door via the coastal path. We then turn inland and visit a number of ruins - among them Corfe Castle, before returning to the coast. The visitors then tour landmarks in Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire before the film ends with a Remembrance Sunday march.
