Plant id help pleas

The guidebooks suggested are very good but Francis Rose is considered THE book but is quite hard to follow to start off with (mainly because of the botanical terminology).

agreed. It is a bit intimidating at first.
using keys does require a bit of knowledge, terminology etc but it has a good introduction in it and a full glossary. If your wanting. to learn your botany it has everything you need.
that said I wouldn't recommend dichotomous keys as the way to get into botany. mainly cause it sucks the fun out of it until you've got a good handle on it!

That's absolutely NOT Hemlock. The leaves are nothing like it. Not Giant Hogweed either - too small and the leaves are all wrong. Looks like Cow Parsley (Wild Chervil) to me.

Have since discovered it is indeed cow parsley, thanks for eveyones input
