Its difficult to tell from the piccy, but the leaves should look like rounded maple leaves.

What's the habitat you're finding them in? Looks to me like they might be a variety of raspberries - the trailing habit is no indicator. I've got something very similar looking at the edge of some industrial land near me.

Two things are making me doubt the cloudberry identification. I've looked it up in 3 books and all three agree:
1. None of my books say cloudberry is spiny, like your pictures show. One book says 'downy'.
2. All three books show cloudberry fruits as growing on upright stalks, in a solitary fashion, whereas your pictures show branched and drooping fruit.

I'd say a raspberry variety, but that's no bad thing either. Regardless, enjoy

Not cloudberries but rubus tricolour, often planted around the UK as ground cover. AFAIK the fruit are edibe, I've found them to be a bit plain.

That fits my experience of eating the ones near me. Edible, but not really worth the trouble. Juicy, but not fruity.

[Skaukraft]

Absolutely not cloudberries.

I call them chinese bramble. Councils love them, thick ground cover and doesnt take much looking after. They are covered in soft thorns. The fruit is pretty reasonably alright eating, especially this year when there isn't a lot other than blackberry.
