The population of Acer campestre on the ridge between Portishead and
Clevedon is also ternate-leaved, but it's clearly not this, as Acer
campestre bears its flowers erect.

Other trees with ternate leaves are some hickories (Carya) and common
walnut (Juglans regia) - there are alternate-leaved, and not (at least
usually) consistently ternate.

BTW, it's possible to perform a considerable lossy compression of your
images with limited loss of quality.

It isn't Acer cissifolium - we have it here so I know that one quite
well, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was an Acer except it's
flowering too early. I'd like to see a good close up of individual
flower.

Something about the bark and the nodes make me think of elder. Not to any
good purpose, I may say. ;-(
