Roman Baths
The Roman Baths of Prestatyn were discovered in 1934 and later excavated to reveal a furnace area, several typical rooms, and a plunge pool. Roman pipe work, which brought spring water to each of the rooms, was also found.
The rooms at the Roman Baths included a Caldarium, where soldiers sweated, exfoliated and scraped their skin before oiling it and a Tepidarium which more closely resembled a modern-day spa where soldiers could relax.
The remains of the baths are today hidden within a housing estate, but an information sign can be found in front of the remains, making it easy to identify.
