Why ragwort is a problem in Bodmin
On Bodmin properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. Bodmin's historic gaol and former railway sidings along the Camel Trail have left disturbed embankments where knotweed spreads through the disused Bodmin and Wenford Railway corridor into the moor's fringes.
