The Wild Isles Unwinds Mix: A United Kingdom of Calm
Join Angela Griffin for a gratifying UK based journey of escapism, celebrating the unique personality of places under our noses.
This Unwinds Mix celebrates the diverse landscape that makes up the UK.
Angela Griffin has been inspired by Sir David Attenborough’s ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ One show Wild Isles, which documents the varied nature of the United Kingdom.
We continue that theme with a selection of songs that salute the calming countryside and peaceful places across the UK.
From the serene juxtaposition of a Waterloo Sunset to that satisfying hands-on-your-hips pose as you drink in the view from the top of Solsbury Hill.
We’ll also be enlisting Clare Balding and the team at ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Radio 4’s Ramblings show, transporting us directly to the waterfalls of South Wales, Northern Ireland‘s Mourne Mountains and Deacon Blue take us to the beach at Fife. Full ‘Ramblings’ shows are available on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Sounds.
Plus, Sir David Attenborough will melt your shoulders with his peacefully smooth voice.
Be inspired as you join us for a wholesome excursion to the escapism just up the road.
