Could it be this?

Similar colour but again that has berries in clusters whereas the one I saw
didn't as you can see from the photo. The fruits are spread evenly all over
the plant.

Aside from whether it be a sorbus, viburnum or whatever, what I see in your picture (nice one btw) is mainly this (attached a detail):
... the shrub seems to have a very compact growth. I think that could be caused by game bite and this would also explain why the flowers and fruits are so closely attached to the branches.
Nevertheless the shapes of the inflorescence are a kind of panicles.
Ok, I only can refer to your photographs, while you have the chance to repeat your trip next summer and look for flowers and leafage.
