Roman Bath House
In the 2nd century Ravenglass was a thriving Roman naval port and fort known as Glannoventa. A few hundred yards from our site along the public footpath to Muncaster Castle stands the remains of the Bath House used by the Roman Soldiers at this time. The remains are very well preserved and would attract tourist attention if they were in present day Rome itself. Some of the walls are over 12ft high and if you go inside the remains you will clearly see the shelf on which the soldiers placed their deities. If you like Roman history I am sure you will find the area around Ravenglass interesting or why not just let your imagination take over and wonder what Ravenglass was like as an active Roman settlement.
