Where to find Adders, Smooth and Grass Snakes in the UK

Where to find snakes in the UK including venomous Adder and rare Smooth Snake

These are the locations in the UK where you'll find the country's three native snakes - the Adder, Grass Snake and Smooth Snake.

From mainland Scotland down to Devon, and everywhere in between, there are snake hotspots located all over the UK.

There are three snake species native to the UK:

 
        Adder
    Grass Snake
    Smooth Snake


  

The Adder is the only venomous species in the UK, the Grass Snake is the longest, while the Smooth Snake is "incredibly scarce".

You may be wondering whether you are likely to stumble across one in your local area, or perhaps while you're away on holiday (within the UK).
