The Roman in the archaeological fort at Ravenglass possibly represents the southern extremity of the Western Sea Defenses, in a line of forts and watch-towers strung along the north-western coastline of Cumbria.
The West Coast side of the Lake District has some fantastic walks, and is much quieter than the tourist traps in the middle.
The West Coast railway line offers easy access to loads of great places to explore.
This walk attains you up Muncaster Fell, with a short extension at the end to see the site of an old Roman Fort.
