The tallest Roman building in the north of England, Walls Castle is the remains of a Roman bath house. Two of the rooms still maintain their original height of 13 feet (4 m). The bath houses would have served the fort, which was located to the south west. You can visit the site from Ravenglass via one of the Lake District's accessible 'miles without stiles' routes.
