    Old tin mine - historic ruined buildings and railway.

    The unfenced site is owned by Shropshire Council and managed on a day to day basis by Shropshire Mines Trust. In its heyday it was one of the biggest and richest lead mines in the country.

    The site will normally be open between 11.00 am and 4.00 pm. Last tours into Day Level start no later than 3.30pm. (From shropshiremines.org.uk/snailbeach/snailbeach/visits.html)
