Why ragwort is a problem in Keynsham
On Keynsham properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. Keynsham sits between the rivers Avon and Chew, and disturbed ground from the former Cadbury's chocolate factory site and old railway sidings has left knotweed well established along the riverbanks.
