The trunk looks more purplish (rowan) than greenish (ash). Is it just one tree in your photo? It looks large and I could have been fooled into thinking there were many.
My Sorbus has just been cut down due to renovations , it was huge ! The trunk and some branches are sawn and stacked for next winters fire . I am still in mourning
Oh brilliant. Mistery solved! Thank you all for your help. The serrated leaves looks like a definitive statement. I can't wait to see the red fruit! Will post more pictures when it happens.
It's def a rowan 100%. Lovely trees. In years gone by when a Rowan was cut in any way you said sorry because people believed the souls of the dead were inside, hence rowan groves grew near churches or near celtic crosses etc

Its only one tree in the area. Three branches. Quite tall really. Maybe 4 or 5 metres tall .
Rowan for me
In the sticks near Peterborough
If you look at the leaflets silhouetted against the sky you can the little serrations on the leaf edge which are found in Rowans but not Ash trees.

Gulp ! just been in the shed and apologised ! It had white berries by the way
Good save arneli
The white berries means its a cultivar as the native Rowan is red berries and is also sometimes called mountain ash.
