Sound Escape 93: The invigorating roar of the River Usk in spate

Season 14 Published 3 years, 10 months ago
Description

It's rained for days but there's a gap in the cloud cover this late autumn morning. You wander down to the river to find it in full spate. Another 50cm rise and it will burst surrounding fields. Its voice, a whisper in summer, is a roar now – the surging water unleashed and cleansing. And if you listen very closely, you might even hear the peeping calls of kingfishers.


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 and presented by Fergus Collins
