English folklore is the folk tradition which has developed in England over a number of centuries. Some stories can be traced back to their roots, while the origin of others is uncertain or disputed. England abounds with folklore, in all forms, from such obvious manifestations as the traditional Robin Hood tales, the Brythonic-inspired Arthurian legend, the poetry tale of Beowulf, to contemporary urban legends and facets of cryptozoology such as the Beast of Bodmin Moor.
