Ravenglass Roman Bath House

Ancient Roman Ruins

The remarkably well-preserved ruins of a Roman fort bath house on the Cumbrian coast, standing almost to roof height in places. One of the tallest surviving Roman structures in northern England.

What to Expect

Interpretive panels explain the history and layout of the bath house, which served the Roman fort of Glannaventa. The site is free to visit and sits in a scenic coastal location.

The Experience

Standing beside walls that are nearly 2,000 years old gives a powerful sense of history. The bath house served soldiers stationed at the edge of the Roman Empire, and the interpretive panels bring that story to life. It combines well with a trip on the nearby Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway.
