Why ragwort is a problem in Pontypool
On Pontypool properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. Pontypool sits on the Afon Lwyd, where former ironworks and colliery land along the eastern valley gave knotweed well-established colonies that recur along the old mineral railway to Blaenavon.
