Jarvis Cocker's album for The National Trust

The National Trust is famed for its care of some of the nation’s most visually stunning locations; from castles and gardens to great swathes of coast and countryside, which are often promoted as havens of tranquillity. But the release of their new album is the first time that the very sounds of these special places have been given their place in the spotlight.

Jarvis Cocker, best known as the former front-man for the band Pulp, has worked with NT to produce the album, entitled National Trust: The Album, comprising of British natural sounds including birdsong, crashing waves and wind breezing through a country garden.

Eleven special places across England, Northern Ireland and Wales feature on the album, so enjoy listening to the sounds of these places - to hear them for real, go along along for a visit.
