A very historically unique place, however it just feels on a very small scale. It is definatly worth a look- even if only to say you've done it, but the entire of what's left instills the very possible thought in you that its top heavy walls and crumbling door arches could very well all collapse around you should you as much as sneeze near them. Still, an interesting place. A nice good lane walk to it on a good solid wide path suitable for wheelchairs and prams and a chance to walk around history and it's free.

5 minute walk from the carpark up a trackway. Worth the walk though if you like your Roman history.
We parked in the pay and display car park (free after 6pm) and walked through to the Roman Bath House. Impressive remains of the excavated bath house with information boards to explain other finds etc. It was a bit muddy along the walk and around the walls, so care needs to be taken. I'm not sure why metal fencing had been erected in certain areas of the bath house, spoilt it really, and I cant see what protection it offered. On the walk back we diverted under the railway track and down to the river side which made for a nicer walk back to the car park at low tide. I imagine this wouldn't be possible at high tide.
It is about 10 minutes walk down a leafy lane , which at the top of is the caravan site .The ruins are worth admiring when you get there ..for 2 minutes..as unfortunately I was not overwhelmed and as so wet and boggy around them that we could not go up to it and appreciate it more .Also you can see there are several barriers up close to it to stop you going under it for safety reasons . However we carried on walking and eventually came to Muncaster castle .We then walked back to Ravenglass along the main road .This walk was a nice walk to do as fab scenery (August 2020).
Interesting site, kids looked looking round and reading about its history.
