Took the dog for a walk along a local bridleway, apart from the abundance of Sloes and wild plums I found these growing............

These are the leaves of the bush.......

Does anyone know what they are and/or are they edible?

Cheers

Looks like Guelder Rose (Viburnum opulus)

Guelder Rose?

That's the one

There's a Garden center about 1/2 mile away so it may of come from there?

Cheers

Could have, but it seems to be naturalised anyway. A least there seems to be a fiar few of them around my way.

Guelder rose, pretty common, and it's one of the shrubs that get planted in public areas too, so it's widespread.

cheers,

Edible when cooked; used to be made into cough-syrup (as if that's a plus point in their palatability! )
