  It looks like a laurel @jamesharcourt.
  However, I'm struggling to see the pic clearly, as the sun is in my eyes, and I'm trying to make the most of that because, like loo roll, it's been in short supply 

  It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
  
  
  
  I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

  Or privet?  It’s difficult judging the scale in one photo.

  East Anglia

  That's a single stem of about 1.5' length.   They all grow light that, upright, very stiff stems, from a base point which is barely visible for other plants.  It just fights it's way through.

  Privet gets my vote.Leaves are opposite.
  Prunus laurocerasus ..common name cherry laurel has alternate leaves,
  Ligustrum ovalifolium..common name Privet has leaves that are opposite.
