  @wild edges  - marbled orb weaver - ?

  A very distance cousin of the hermit crab.

  I thought they were garden spiders with the cross on the back. I like pumpkin spider better though.

  Wearside, England.

  Araneus marmoreus is as close as I can get. Pic here.
  

  It's also called the 'Pumpkin spider'. 
  

  Also Araneus diadematus.
  

  
  

  So it seems to be some kind of orb weaver, but not sure which.
