Elephant grass creates rural jungle

Please turn on JavaScript. Media requires JavaScript to play.

An exotic visitor to the North Curry countryside is causing problems for local ramblers.

Miscanthus - commonly known as elephant grass - has taken over the footpath which has caused concern as it can grow up to 15ft (4.5m) high.

BBC Points West reporter Andy Alcroft attempted a trek through the jungle.
