Ravenglass Roman Bath House, Roman bath house in Ravenglass, England
The remains of this Roman structure feature walls reaching 4 meters in height, with distinct rooms arranged in a double sequence including an entrance area and bathing chambers.
Built around 130 AD, this bathhouse served the Roman fort of Glannoventa, which protected a strategic harbor for military supplies and movements across northern Britain.
The bath complex contained areas for social gatherings and personal hygiene, reflecting Roman practices where soldiers and civilians participated in communal bathing rituals.
The site remains open to visitors during daylight hours without entrance fees, with parking facilities available in the surrounding area of Ravenglass.
The structure contains rare examples of original Roman mortar on its walls and features traces of splayed window openings from the second century.
