Views taken from a moving boat. Pleasure boats. The boat goes past swimmers and under bridges. Private parties on the banks and picnics in boats. Lovely shots of women eating lunch in punts - having a picnic. Camera travels past large country houses.

Was originally an item in Pathe Pictorial issue number 633.

Note: although the can is labelled "Pathetone early colour" the films in this reel are all Pathe Pictorial items, not Pathetone items. JDG suggests that this was shot in Maidenhead, Berkshire.
