Snailbeach is a village in Shropshire, England, located near Shrewsbury at grid reference SJ375025.

Although the miners mainly extracted lead ore (galena) from the mine, smaller quantities of barytes, calcite, fluorspar, silver and zinc were also obtained.

Since 1955 only some reworking of the spoil heaps for spar, to use as pebble dash on buildings, has occurred.

[4] The white spoil tip on the northern edge of the village, which had been a local landmark, was landscaped and planted with trees as part of the mining reclamation works.

The Shropshire Mines Trust manages the Snailbeach Countryside Site on behalf of Shropshire Council, which owns many of the mine buildings and much of the land and gives free access to visit the publicly-owned sites; guided tours can include such features otherwise not accessible.
