The Holiday at Southwold

The Harrison family revel on the beach, sail their splendid model yachts and entertain friends at Southwold.

On the Suffolk coast, the Harrison family enjoy the beach and sea bathing, splashing and sandcastles, entertaining friends outside the beach huts and synchronised stepping-out in their Sunday best. Young John picks up new skills including pony riding, rowing and swimming. This family of accomplished sailors also excel with their model boats on the boating lake. A panorama from the top of the lighthouse shows off the Southwold surroundings.
