Royal Mail Unveils 10 Waterfall Stamps Ahead of June 23 Sale
The set highlights waterfalls in all four UK nations and is available to pre-order, with a £14.45 presentation pack for collectors.
Royal Mail unveiled 10 new stamps on Friday featuring spectacular waterfalls across the country. The collection, available for pre-order, captures the 'power and beauty' of the most dramatic natural landscapes.
David Gold, Royal Mail's director of external affairs and policy, said the stamps showcase the richness of the British Isles' natural environment, which has been 'shaped by water over thousands of years.'
Featured locations include High Force in County Durham, the Fairy Pools on the Isle of Skye, and Rogie Falls in the Highlands. The full set spans all four nations.
Hugh MacLeod, Estate Director for the Fairy Pools of Glen Brittle, said the collection brings 'extraordinary natural beauty' to a wider audience. Paul Hibberd, Visitor Services Manager for Forestry and Land Scotland, praised the Rogie Falls feature.
The collection goes on general sale June 23, following Royal Mail's recent stamps celebrating castles. Collectors can pre-order now via the Royal Mail website or by telephone on 03457 641 641.
