englandcrossred-white-goldheraldic

The Dorset flag features a white and red cross known as the Dorset Cross, inspired by the design found on a Dorset hilltop. The gold-fimbriated red cross on a white field recalls the county's Anglo-Saxon and medieval heritage.

Dorset's cross flag is based on a design found on an ancient hill figure, making it one of the few county flags with a direct archaeological connection.
