Ah! I have some photos of those bushes that we saw last year somewhere - they are spectacular. I think it is a Viburnum but not sure if they are edible or not - would love to know.

if it is viburnum, it is edible... kind of. I'm sure it's ok cooked.
Large quantities of the fruit can cause vomiting and diarrhoea[10, 65]. The fruit is of very low or zero toxicity, it only causes mild upsets when eaten unripe or in large quantities[65, 76].
