I have a garden the size of a postage stamp so may think about this plant, I've an idea for a small pond, right where that plant lives so am now not worried about cutting it back hard.
It looks to me like Rubus calycinoides, also known as Crinkle-leaf bramble. If so, you may get an occasional fruit which looks a bit like an orange raspberry.

Rubus tricolour?
I've never heard of it either Dove but I recognized rubus and googled ground cover rubus. Most of the sites were USA.
The leaves didn't look quite right for tricolor to me Lizness but it might be, the other doesn't seem to be seen much here.
Are you in the UK Jimbo?

Creeping Chinese bramble, sounds dangerous - not suitable for small gardens..
Thank you to Lizness and nutcutlet for identifying that for me.
It does grow really quick, even in cold Scotland so I won't worry about how hard I cut it back. Thanks very much for all your help.

Good to hear you think it's R. calcinoides as well
