Why ragwort is a problem in Penistone
On Penistone properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. Penistone's former wire mills and railway viaduct over the River Don created disturbed, damp ground where Japanese knotweed has taken hold along the old Woodhead line embankments and riverside pastures nearby.
