Ribchester Roman Bath House
Greenside, Ribchester, Preston (via B6245 Ribchester Road), PR3 3ZJ · Preston
Free open-air ruins of a Roman bath house built around 100 AD, where kids can see the remains of the sweating room (sudatorium), warm room (tepidarium) and hot room (caldarium), with the small stone pillars that once carried heated floors. It's open free of charge from 9am until dusk all year round. Note it's separate from the nearby Ribchester Roman Museum, which charges admission.
Spark Hub tip: Combine with a walk from the village — parking is opposite the playing fields, then about 5 minutes on foot.
