About

Ravenglass Roman Bath House is a ruined ancient Roman bath house at Ravenglass, Cumbria, England. Belonging to a 2nd-century Roman fort and naval base, the bath house is described by Matthew Hyde in his update to the Pevsner Guide to Cumbria as "an astonishing survival". The still standing walls are 13 ft high, there are patches of the internal rendering, in dull red and white cement, and traces of the splayed window openings remain.

Part of the Roman fort of Glannaventa at Ravenglass, this bath house served the garrison that guarded the Cumbrian coast. The walls survive to nearly 4 metres (12 feet) in places—the tallest standing Roman remains in northern England. Known locally as 'Walls Castle.' The associated fort has largely eroded away. Managed by English Heritage.
