Knotweed in Wells
Wells' natural springs and disturbed water meadows around the moat of the Bishop's Palace have given knotweed opportunities to spread, further aided by old quarry workings on the nearby Mendip slopes.
Wells sits within our Somerset coverage, where the main local pressure is the levels, seasonal flooding and constrained valley access.
