Millbridge Plantation is a historic property located in Cumberland County, North Carolina. Situated in a lush wooded area, the plantation is known for its picturesque landscape and rich history. The expansive property spans over several acres, featuring a mix of woodlands and forest areas.

The plantation dates back to the early 18th century when it was established as a working farm. Over the years, it evolved into a prosperous plantation, known for its production of crops such as tobacco, cotton, and corn. The main house, built in the Georgian architectural style, stands as the centerpiece of the property. This well-preserved structure offers a glimpse into the plantation's past, with its grand facade and elegant interior.

Surrounding the main house are several outbuildings, including slave quarters, barns, and storage buildings. These structures provide valuable insights into the daily lives and working conditions of the enslaved people who toiled on the plantation.

Millbridge Plantation also boasts a beautiful forested area, with towering trees and winding trails. This natural setting provides visitors with an opportunity to explore the plantation's surroundings and appreciate its serene beauty. Additionally, the forest area supports a diverse range of plant and animal species, making it an ideal spot for nature enthusiasts.

Today, Millbridge Plantation serves as a historical site and museum, offering guided tours and educational programs. Visitors can learn about the plantation's history, its role in the region's economy, and the stories of the people who lived and worked there. This important landmark provides a valuable glimpse into the past and helps to preserve the cultural heritage of Cumberland County.

Roman Bath House Remains, Ravenglass Ravenglass Roman Bath House is a ruined ancient Roman bath house at Ravenglass, Cumbria, England. Belonging to a 2nd-century Roman fort and naval base. The bath house is described by Matthew Hyde in his update to the Pevsner Guide to Cumbria as "an astonishing survival". The still standing walls are 13 ft (4 m) high, there are patches of the internal rendering, in dull red and white cement, and traces of the splayed window openings remain. The relatively good state of preservation of the bath house is believed to be attributable to its being adapted for domestic use in the medieval period. <span class="nowrap"><a title="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ravenglass_Roman_Bath_House" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ravenglass_Roman_Bath_House">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span>
