There is an abundance of British folklore and mythology hiding among each old ruined castle, abbey, priory, and church here in the UK. We all know of fairies, goblins, leprechauns, pixies, dragons, monsters, giants, trolls and the like but where did they all come from? History only knows the answer, as these legends have been handed down to us through turbulent centuries, fading as time goes by and leaving us with lots of unanswered questions and no proof that these things ever existed. Only some of the stories live on and this page is designed to gather up those stories and present them to you here and now.
