Holiday activities in and around Torquay, Devon

General shots of Torquay, some aerial. A woman in a trouser suit, turban and long gloves walking through the streets. The harbour with rowing and sailing boats, seagulls in flight. From black and white the film moves to colour. People on the promenade, pushing prams, taking photographs. Swimming and paddling and playing on the beach. Anstey's Cove. Babbacombe beach with bathers and fishermen. Cockington village: the church, weaver's cottage, cows driven through street. A thatched cottage with growing, part-trimmed trees as upper-storey supports.
