Ravenglass Heritage Snapshot
The Romans founded a fort at Ravenglass about the year 79AD as a supply port for their conquest of northern Britain. Of that fort only the ruins of a later 2nd century bathhouse remain. The Romans used Ravenglass to land troops and supplies, with roads running inland up Eskdale to another fort at Hardknott Pass, and beyond towards Ambleside.
