Summary
| Description |
English: Roman Snail (Helix pomatia) Britain's largest snail (this specimen was around 9 cm long), it is believed to have been introduced by the Romans, hence the name. It is found on southern chalk (as here, on a site near the base of the North Downs). Due to concerns about overharvesting for the restaurant trade, it has since 2008 been protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, making collection illegal. |
