The flowers look very much like a Rowan (Sorbus) but i would have to
see one close up to be sure... and the corymbs of berries sound correct

some have 'whole' leaves like Sorbus aria.


Cheers Matt - a bigger image of the flowers is available he

I think it looks like a pretty good match for the Sorbus intermedia
(Swedish Whitebeam) that Stewart had suggested. I never realised there
were such a lot of varieties of the Sorbus family.
