Ambleside Roman Fort with its scant remains lies on the banks of Lake Windermere - the town full of tourists even in late September...
Hardknott Roman Fort is situated dramatically in the hills near Hardknott Pass - which is an adventure in itself even in the 21th century.
Finally Ravenglass Roman Bath House - near the Irish Sea.

Thank you.
Great landscape. When I drove over Hardknott pass the SatNav said something like 40 minutes for 20 km which I couldn't believe but it was accurate. Tiny roads, few and very slim passing places, sharp turns, steep inclines and even a bicycle race.

Mrs B. recalls an incident from her youth, at Hardknott. The family car was so low-powered it couldn't make it over the top, even in first gear. SO her dad reversed up the last bit with them walking behind.

Crazy. Makes you wonder even more how the Romans build a fort there...

Where are you off to next?
I have one more part to publish. A journey to Scotland - highlights for our daughter - is booked, another to Shetland is in the works and I hope for a third in September somewhere in England, maybe Cornwall and Devon.

Only ever been to Edinburgh but my family grew up there, there’s some lovely scenery.
