Why ragwort is a problem in Whitley Bay
On Whitley Bay properties, ragwort poisonous to horses and cattle, and liver damage accumulates whether the plant is grazed fresh or baled into hay. Whitley Bay's coastal dunes and old colliery railway lines nearby created disturbed sandy ground where Japanese knotweed has spread along the Rocket wagonway path and stream corridors leading down to the seafront.
