Many of the Welsh county councils have arms and have the potential to develop attractive flags based on these arms, although by and large they have adopted very stylized logo-flags, usually with the names prominently written out in Welsh and English.

I attach the flag for Pembrokeshire.

Hay-on-Wye is a market town of 1,500 people on the Welsh-English border. Hay
resident Richard Booth, owner of the world's largest used-book store, declared
himself King Richard I of Hay on 1 Apr 1977. King Richard has proven himself to
be a rather mellow monarch, declaring that in Hay, "There must be no authority
from anyone. Long live Anarchy, Prosperity to the People!" The new nation
supports itself by selling dukedoms (£25)
and earldoms (£5), as well as T-shirts and
tote bags.
