Why ragwort is a problem in Huntingdon
On Huntingdon properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. Huntingdon lies on the Great Ouse, whose water meadows and old wharf sites have supported knotweed for decades, with further spread along the disused railway embankment that once linked the town to St Ives.
