Distinguishing features

Superficially similar to the familiar exotic Garden Snail (Cornu aspersum). It differs most obviously in its 25 - 30 mm diameter shell. While this shell may be almost any shade of brown, it is always uniform in colour, while that of Helix consists of dark patches on a pale background. A green or yellow tinge may be present. The Cumberland Land Snail also has a more flattened shell that is very thin and fragile, compared with the thick shell of the Garden Snail.
