The Roman Bath House, Ravenglass

We left the Ravenglass station and walked through a footpath leading to a narrow
country road that would take us to the ruins of the Roman Bath House. There were
hardly any people walking out there.  An occasional delivery truck passed by, bumping
along the old road.

Soon we came to an open field with ruins of old walls. A signpost indicated that
this was the spot on which the Roman Bath House of the Roman Fort of Ravenglass
once stood.


There were reminders to be careful as the walls were very old and could crumble.

After spending some time among the ruins we walked back to Ravenglass and went
to the beach, passing some very nice houses.



There was nothing much there except for a couple of boats left high and dry as
the sea had receded.

Then we had a picnic lunch outside the station before heading for the Ravenglass
Railway Museum.
