Welsh folklore

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welsh folklore is the collective term for the folklore of the Welsh people. It encompasses topics related to Welsh mythology, but also include the nation's folk tales, customs, and oral tradition.

Welsh folklore is related to Irish folklore and Scottish folklore from its Celtic traditions as well as English folklore, but it shares most similarities with the Brythonic cultures of Brittany and Cornwall.[1]
