This compilation of holidays to Dymchurch starts in 1957 when we see Mrs Giles and her daughter playing on the beach accompanied by their boxer dog. A trip to Dover Castle follows. In August we see the children playing in the garden or on the beach - now with two boxers. After the adults ride the children's bikes we next see men struggle to launch a sailboat onto a choppy sea. An elderly woman plays swing-ball with a girl while the pair of boxers sit patiently as they're being filmed.
