It's a longhorn beetle but not one I recognise off the top of my head. I have a guide to the UK species I'll take a look at later but it might be a non-native, possibly imported in any wood you have there.

Well I compared it to those species illustrated in the two part guide from British Wildlife which is the modern go-to guide for this group. There's nothing in other British keys that helps much either.
I can't say for sure, I'm an amateur and all, but the patterning is reminiscent of the tribe Clytini and some of the Chlorophorus species are quite similar. This is a genus of 100+ species spread across Europe and Asia (but not the UK) and my guess is that it's one of these.
