Hemlock has purple blotches on the stem which is round. Cow parsley has a ridged stem and is shaped like celery with a groove down the underside. It can have purple stems but they're like a colour wash, not spotted.
Hemlock is deadly - just saying!

Thank you Veggie
Other than scaring me that video hasn’t helped me identify it.
Fortunately I wasn’t going to eat it - or put it my other half’s sandwiches!

I read somewhere that Cow parsley smells of aniseed while Hemlock smells unpleasant. I rubbed a bit of Cow Parsley and, whilst not smelling of aniseed it didn't smell unpleasant. Not tempted to eat it though!

That's a nice looking plant. I might try growing it.
