A snubber valve is described which comprises a valve member slidable within a bore provided in a valve body. The valve member includes a region arranged to engage a seating, a spring biasing the valve member towards the seating. The spring engages a spring abutment region of the valve member. The valve member is provided with a passage which provides a flow path between a second end of the valve member and a part of the valve member between the first region and the spring abutment region.
