What fruit is this?

There's dozens dropping onto our patio at the rear end of our back garden from several overhanging frees behind which grow in a small wooded area.

They're quite small and about the size of a large grape, but spherical. They also have a bum cleft like a peach:

I cut one in half and it does contain a stone:

I wouldn't mind gathering some and making a crumble or tart (not that I've made a tart or crumble before). I bit into one and spat it out, it tastes a bit like a plum and has a similar consistency, but not quite as sweet, though it is a sweet and pleasant taste

My googling doesn't seem up to scratch this evening, can someone tell me what it is and if it's safe to eat?

Thanks guys. I was barking up the wrong tree with my googling and searching for peach and nectarine based fruits.

I've just eaten one and it's delicious. I'm sure they were all green about a week ago, now they're suddenly all ripe and dropping, so I'm going to be out there tomorrow on my WFH dinner break picking plums!

Any ideas for an easy treat to make with them?
