That's possibly something like a Winter Honeysuckle; I really don't think that's a native.
You can see shots of our native honeysuckle ( Lonicera periclymenum) in the Gallery.

Maybe Japanese Honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica)?

I agree with Deb, Winter Honeysuckle, by far the earliest to flower as the name suggests.
There are several named varieties.

This is one of the shrub rather than climbing species; possibly Lonicera fragrantissima or one of its hybrids. |

This particular Lonicera is an evergreen (semi) - the native ones are deciduous. |

In mild winters, or in sheltered positions, Lonicera fragrantissima keeps its leaves well, esecially on the younger growth.

Tosca
Are all your flowers from the same park? What a marvellous place it must be.
Can you share the place with us please, in case I am ever in the vicinity. | | | |
