Sound Escape 136. The delicious sound of rain on a porch while you shelter inside
What weather! At times like this you forget it can rain so hard; the clouds overturned and emptied like water buckets on the ground before you. You find a step in the porch of the old farmhouse and make yourself comfortable. The rain continues to cascade. Puddles sparkle. Leaves spiral down, caught up in the storm.
BBC Countryfile Magazine's Sound Escapes are a weekly audio postcard from the countryside to help you relax and transport you somewhere beautiful, wherever you happen to be.
Recorded by Daniel Graham, presented by Hannah Tribe.

Sound escape 135. A lazy stroll along a beach of shingle in the sunshine
A late summer stroll through the shingle and sand of the south coast. There is warm sunshine between the cloud and a busy beach with families making the most of the holidays. Splash and laughter, ice-cream and sun-screen. And the gentle wash of the sea.

Sound Escape 134: Pure clear water tumbles over a waterfall in a Irish fairy glen
You’ve wandered into a fairy glen where pure clear water tumbles from pool to pool though mini-gorges of moss covered rocks. As your eyes adjust, you spot small trout swaying in the current, illuminated by soft sunlight that has been sieved by the tree canopy.

Customer Reviews
Tomeng
Very entertaining provides great listening to wide down of an evening a+
Why the ads at the end?
Really enjoyed listening as have recently found this podcast but the peace I enjoyed whilst listening was abruptly ended with adverts that are noticeably louder at the end. Really surprised and disappointed that this is the set up, especially as I was drifting off to sleep.
Sound escapes
I really love the sound escapes, very relaxing.
