Great Britain's New Celebrating Wales Mini-Sheet

Great Britain's Royal Mail recently released a minisheet that celebrates Wales, one the countries of the United Kingdom. Wales is a very picturesque place with mountains, rugged seashores, ancient castles and colorful history and local culture. It's located on the far western side of Britain's main island, south and west of England. The new souvenir sheet is actually the fourth and final sheet in a series that honors different countries of the United Kingdom. Previous minisheets of the series honored Scotland, England and Northern Ireland.

The minisheet includes four stamps: the current regional definitive for use in Wales, the Welsh flag, St. David (the patron saint of Wales), and the Welsh National Assembly in Cardiff. Famed Harlech Castle in Snowdonia makes up the background of the sheet. Called "Celebrating Wales," this beautiful new minisheet would make a lovely addition for the Great Britain stamp collector.
