Why ragwort is a problem in Barry
On Barry properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. Barry's dockland, the old Barry Railway and the reclaimed colliery tips around Barry Island gave knotweed a foothold that still reappears along the Cadoxton and Cold Knap edges after each flood.
