Cumbria flag (as of 2025) postcard

The design of the Cumbria flag is a beautiful representation of the "Lakes and Mountains" region. The top half of the flag is a rich, deep green, symbolizing the fells, forests, and rolling hills that define the Cumbrian landscape. The bottom half features wavy blue and white lines, a heraldic representation of the county's famous lakes—such as Windermere and Ullswater—as well as its rugged coastline along the Irish Sea. At the center of the design sits a white Parnassus flower (Grass of Parnassus), a delicate wildflower that thrives in the marshy uplands of the region. This is flanked by two golden sheaves of wheat (garbs), honoring the agricultural traditions of the Solway Plain and Eden Valley. This postcard is a perfect way to send a greeting from the North West of England or to keep as a souvenir of a visit to Carlisle, Kendal, or the heart of the Lake District. It celebrates a unified Cumbrian identity with modern heraldic elegance.
