Knotweed in Torquay
Torquay's Victorian seafront terraces and disused limestone quarries along the coastline have left disturbed ground where knotweed spreads through the wooded valleys leading down to Torre Abbey Sands.
Torquay sits within our Devon coverage, where the main local pressure is steep river catchments and a long southern growing season.
