That's going to annoy me, because I know I've seen that plant (and its name) before, but I just can't remember it. It looks a bit like a variety of sorbus, but the leaves don't tally. It also reminds me of wintergreen, but the plant is too big and the leaves too long to be that. Hmmm.

First gut feeling guess is Cotoneaster cornubia, but will look it up when I get a chance later.
