Pink Somerset Shrub

[gardenmad]

Whilst driving home from Somerset, I passed from the A303 to the M5 and on the way I passed through a village with pink flowered bushes in its hedgerows - round the fields, not shrubs in a garden, they had no leaves, possibly the leaves came after the flowers, it may have been a kind of prunus, does anyone know what they are? It is driving me mad to find out. i have also put this question in the Animals and Nature bit. Thanks in advance.
