An interesting covering the history of this port and fort, that supplied the Western end of Hadrians wall. Quite a few unique stone reliefs for Roman Britain A little about the local areas, especially during the roman Empire. We had a lovely time here, and the staff are friendly. The is fully wheelchair friendly. Everything is on one floor, and there is a wheelchair WC on site inside the museum. One thing I learnt from this visit was that the Romans really liked their phallus symbol. Apparently, it wards off the evil eye... We had no idea quite how significant Maryport was in Roman times until visiting this delightful, little museum. The displays are great and the videos and interpretation panels make it easy to understand. A great visit at a very reasonable entry fee. Ever wondered what the Romans were up to on the wild Cumbrian coast? Spoiler: quite a lot! 🏛️ The Senhouse Roman is a hidden gem packed with ancient artifacts, including the largest collection of Roman altars in Britain. Located right next to the site of a Roman fort, it offers stunning views over the Solway Firth — perfect for spotting Scotland and contemplating ancient history at the same time. It’s quirky, full of character, and run by people who clearly love Roman history (and might secretly wish they were Roman themselves). Definitely worth a visit if you like your history with a view and a bit of mystery! 🏺👣 #RomanBritain #SenhouseMuseum #Maryport #HistoryNerdHeaven #MuseumWithAView Brilliant little Roman museum. A lot to see inside, good for adults and children. The viewing tower outside is awesome with excellent views over the Solway. The area around is also peaceful and quiet. Small but sufficient car park. I spent a good 90 mins here. Good souvenir shop and all for just £4 A world heritage site in a lovely English coastal town. Good value for the money, and a very interesting collection Really enjoyed this quiet museum. Staff were friendly and welcoming. It was the best £4 I have ever spent. awesome place to visit if youre in the area, you cannot take dogs (expect guide dogs) inside but it is wheelchair accessible for the most part (I found the gravel outside it hard to maneuver on) there is a lot of information regarding the history and theres a nice view point from the top of one of the exhibitions. not the easiest place to find even with Google maps! but well worth the visit! if you have a pup with you there is a nice walk along the front of the building overlooking the coast line.
