Why ragwort is a problem in Tiverton
On Tiverton properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. Tiverton's wool trade heritage along the River Exe and Grand Western Canal has left disused mill sites where knotweed spreads through the canal towpath's disturbed banks and old lace factory grounds.
