The Ravenglass Roman Bath House is a remarkably well-preserved ancient Roman bath complex located in Ravenglass, Cumbria, England. Built around 130 AD, it features a series of stone-built rooms, including a cold bath, a warm bath, and a hot bath, as well as a sauna and a steam room. The baths were constructed using local limestone and sandstone, with intricate mosaics and ornate stonework adorning the walls and floors. The site also includes a museum showcasing Roman artifacts discovered during excavations, offering a glimpse into the daily lives of Roman civilians and soldiers.
A well preserved example of Roman ruins but on a much smaller scale, the 4 stars reflect that although another great example of our Roman past, there isn't much to see but it's still worth a stop off. Only a few minutes walk from either the car park or campsite. Although it's stood for centuries, parts are now being held up by wooden props and heras fencing is in place in parts, some work is required to save this monument for the future.
A short walk from Ravenglass to here. Nice to see this still standing and if you are into history worth seeing. Keep on going down the lane and turn right for a walk along the beach back into Ravenglass.
There's a lovely walk along from Ravenglass, we walked to the Roman Baths, which are beautiful and up the the trail to Muncaster Castle. We walked it in about 2 hours, with lots of stopping and then enjoyed a delicious meal at The Ravenglass Inn. The walk was easily, sometimes uphill, mossy and foresty and had great views of the West Coast :)
It is great that we are able to still visit structures of this age. Information boards tell you very little about the baths. The site is fenced off and the nature of the fencing makes it difficult to take photos. Well worth a short detour from the village if you are here but you may be disappointed if travelling any distance for the specific purpose of visiting the baths.
Worth having a short walk with family
Well, how to rate a 2000 year old building. As previous posts have said, go here if you're passing but hardly worth traveling far for. The temporary security fence is pretty awful and really stops you getting a good photo. But in saying all that, it's amazing that these structures remain and should be protected, and excavated. Let's hope funds become available.
