Build your own … legend

English legends, fairy tales and myths have been told and retold across the centuries. Robin Hood’s forest, King Arthur’s round table and Beowulf’s hall make up just some of these incredible stories.

Now it’s your chance to create your own legend. Will you tell the tale of heroic adventurers on a quest? Or maybe you’ll be inspired to write an epic poem about a potato? Follow our legendary trail (one of four World Builder Challenge trails at our sites) to help you build your own legends.

Find out more about the World Builder Challenge trails and where you can find them.
