Celebrate Famous Myths and Legends

Uncover centuries of tales as we pay tribute to some of the most popular British myths and legends.

Myths and legends are tales from bygone eras, passed down through storytelling and the written tradition from generation to generation. They usually have a historical or geographical base and exaggerate the exploits of their protagonists, who commonly have mystical or superhuman qualities. Over time, reinterpretations of these myths and legends create new narratives and meanings, which perpetuate their allure and appeal.
