Looks like the common native Hogweed, as opposed to the invasive and alien Giant Hogweed which has sap that can cause painful blisters

You'd know by the actual plant: Giant Hogweed, (the stinging one) can be up to ten feet tall - well more than 2 metres. Flower head like a dinner plate: monster things!

There are other plants in this family with similar flowers, too, that may be poisonous: so caution is always advisable when handling, unless you are absolutely sure of identification.
