Hard one: my guess False Oxlip. True Oxlip quite distinct geographical range. eg chalky boulder clay in East Anglia etc
False oxlip: V common hybrid wherever cowslip & primrose grow together. Basically habit is like a cowslip, flowers more like primrose: longer petals and more pale buttery colour, without the intensity of colour in cowslip.
