• Sound Escape 208. Enjoy the restful pulse of waves crashing on a Cornish beach

  It's a bright morning on the Falmouth seafront after a week of rain and wind. The air is still, the sunshine warm, yet the sea is still full of storm energy and crashes on the shore, followed by a seethe of pebbles as the waves retreat.
