Overview
A party of holidaying family/friends explores the area around Tenby, visiting Caldey Island (with tea garden), St. Govan's Head and chapel, Bosherston (where a “very nice” afternoon tea is available for 6d), local castles (Carew, Pembroke and Manorbier) and Tenby itself, where the annual yacht race and St. Margaret's Fair take place, the latter officially blocking streets to traffic, much to the amazement of the film-maker.
A title and some footage are missing from this film as it obviously opens with an inter-title rather than a title.
