It's Viburnum rhytidophyllum. Watch out for itchy little hairs down your neck if you crawl underneath

V. rhytidophyllum's a lovely plant. It looks best with something planted at the base to hide the bare stems which tend to develop. Here's a nice example at Iford Manor:

Thanks again nutcutlet for the info and also will for the photo looks a nice plant, i am going to take some cuttings.
I love it. Mine is still clothed to the ground so doesn't need underplanting
