Folk Tales in Welsh—From Giants to Magic Wells
Long before video games and cartoons, Welsh kids were enchanted by tales of giants, dragons, and magical places hidden in the hills. These folk stories didn’t just entertain—they taught values, imagination, and a love for language.
Magical Creatures and Places
Here are just a few of the magical beings and places from Welsh folklore:
- Cawr – giant
- Tylwyth Teg – fairies
- Ffynnon hud – magic well
- Draig – dragon
- Coedwig – forest
These words transport children into a world where animals speak, wells grant wishes, and brave heroes find hidden treasures.
