Knotweed in Barnstaple
Barnstaple's position on the tidal River Taw and the disused Tarka Trail railway line has allowed knotweed to spread extensively along the estuary's disturbed banks and old cattle market sites.
Barnstaple sits within our Devon coverage, where the main local pressure is steep river catchments and a long southern growing season.
