Why giant hogweed is a problem in Newcastle Emlyn
On Newcastle Emlyn properties, giant hogweed sap causes severe phototoxic burns and long-term light sensitivity, which makes it a genuine safety issue on footpaths, riverbanks and school boundaries. Around the castle ruins and the River Teifi, Newcastle Emlyn's mix of gardens, riverbanks, railway corridors and development plots gives invasive and persistent weeds plenty of disturbed ground to colonise, and infestations regularly cross property boundaries across South Wales.
