Poisonous Plants

Beware of some of the plants growing up and down the banks of the River Bray; the main plant is Hemlock Water Dropwort. These are large plants in the river and on the banks with large white florets. Pictures will be placed on the website. Quite a lot adjacent to the Millenium area. The root fangs if pulled up are EXTREMELY POISONOUS as is the rest of the plant and if touched can result in severe blisters please keep away from them.
