Green Flag 2017/18

Green Flag 2017/18

After another record-breaking year, flags are now flying over 1,795 of the UK’s very best parks and green spaces. Visitors – whether local or tourists – will know the flag represents high standards of management, safety and always a warm welcome.

Silloth Green is one of only two parks in Cumbria to have been awarded a Green Flag for 2017/18 and is the only one in Allerdale which is quite an achievement.

Chances Park at Carlisle was also awarded a Green Flag, along with the cemeteries at Alston and Penrith.
