Five women road-trip across England’s landmarks and ditch their clothes at Land’s End.
AS NATURE INTENDED
Not For Adults With High Blood Pressure or Low Boiling Points!
Three girls on a tour of the English countryside meet up with two young women who introduce them to the joys of life in a nudist camp.
Proof that in 1961, the English countryside was as liberating as it was green.
This cheeky slice of early-60s British naturism combines classic travelogue with a gentle nudge toward body positivity. Between shots of Stonehenge and Bedruthan Steps, expect more than just scenic vistas—there’s plenty of sunbathing, skinny-dipping, and the sort of 'educational' documentary that only George Harrison Marks could deliver.
