Cow Parsley or Wild Chervil

Anthriscus sylvestris Cow parsley is by far the commonest of the early-flowering umbellifers in the southern half of England. It is generally distributed and often extremely abundant throughout most of the British Isles, but infrequent in the northern highlands. It is biennial and occurs by hedgerows, at edges of woods and in waste places. It flowers from April to June.
