Obviously, my bias is towards Celtic myth and folklore and you asked about British folklore.
I will now await a well justified pile-on for answering a question about "British" resources with an Irish response. I deserve everything I get. So sorry.
Obviously, the Mabinogion is the classic Welsh resource.
And Lady Gregory's Cuchulain of Muirthemne is an Irish classic.
When it comes to this stuff I'm aware that I'm not at the cutting edge with my recommendations!

Some of the commentary is a little dated but it's a good primer.

Well worth subscribing if you're interested in Welsh politics and Welsh life generally. It's more fun than I make it sound.

I can imagine and I do so often.
But that's me and my daydreams. Never gonna happen.
