Why ragwort is a problem in Cirencester
On Cirencester properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. Cirencester's Roman-era earthworks and the disturbed banks of the River Churn, combined with the old Cirencester railway branch line trackbed, have provided knotweed with long-established footholds around the town.
