Why giant hogweed is a problem in Warwick
On Warwick 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. The River Avon flows past Warwick Castle, and the town's old canal wharves on the Warwick and Napton Canal have long supported knotweed, which also spreads along the disused railway sidings near the town centre.
