The Flag of Newton Abbot is the flag of Newton Abbot adopted in 2009 by the town council. The flag depicts a stylised image of St. Leonard's Tower defacing a modified flag of Devon.
Henry Cole, of Newton Abbot Town Council, stated that the "green represents the moors, black for the granite and white for the clay" of the surrounding area.[1]
The cross of St. Petroc is also used to represent a major crossroads in the town which converged on the clock tower. Each arm of the cross represents the routes to Exeter and London, Bovey Tracey and the moors, Totnes and Plymouth, and Torquay and Brixham.[1][2]
The flag has not seen widespread adoption throughout the town.
