- Royal Mail’s director of external affairs, David Gold, said the stamps highlight the British Isles’ natural beauty shaped by water over thousands of years, a framing that local outlets have used to promote regional landmarks and tourism.
- The series follows Royal Mail’s regular themed releases that appeal to collectors and regional pride, and the stamps could boost visibility and visitor interest in the featured sites as summer travel continues.
