Anyone now what this is? Probably a weed, growing near the hedge in a pretty dark area, if it’s a weed shall I get rid?

Looks like a Foxglove to me. I don't think it is Comfrey or Alkanet.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

Is Foxglove a weed? Would you take it out?

They are wild flowers and grow well in shade. I would leave it.

They are biennial and grow leaves the 1st year and flower the 2nd.
