I spotted this at the weekend on a huge pine log, it was about two inches long!
Image taken with my 70-200 so not the best

It's a Female Great Wood Wasp

I reckon a Giant horntail(Urocerus gigas ). https://www.wildlifetrusts.org/wildlife-explorer/invertebrates/bees-wasps-and-ants/giant-horntail

One of the many wood wasps in the UK. All are harmless but they are imposing looking creatures.

Yes, they are sometimes called Giant Horntails according to what I have read.
