Why giant hogweed is a problem in Kenilworth
On Kenilworth 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. Kenilworth's historic castle grounds and the old canal feeder streams running through Abbey Fields provide sheltered damp conditions favourable to knotweed, which has also spread along the disused Kenilworth railway branch line.
