This was growing in a southern European location and we have a very southern UK walled garden so any ideas on a) what it is and b) if it could survive in our location ? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Could it be lantana ? From S America I believe, horribly invasive in Australia. Has rough stems which injure native Aus creatures. But it is pretty and tough.

Trailing lantana

Lantana, it's not frost hardy in the UK.

Ahhh thanks all, that's great. There seemed to be two varieties. One low growing as in previous picture and one which is more shrub sized. The planting area was very well maintained so suspect they are kept in check. Here's the bigger one

Lantana montevidensis (She says with odious smuggery)

@Aridane You are entitled to the smuggery. That is very impressive horticultural knowledge 😀
