About

Branksome East is a residential area situated between the larger suburbs of Branksome and Canford Cliffs. It lies inland from Poole Bay, with its boundaries loosely defined by the main roads of Livingstone Road and Bournemouth Road. The housing stock is primarily composed of detached and semi-detached homes from the mid-20th century, set along quiet, leafy streets. The area offers convenient access to local shops and services clustered around these arterial routes.

A notable local feature is the proximity to the wilder, heathland sections of Branksome Dene Chine, providing a contrast to the more manicured coastal gardens nearby. The area is served by Branksome railway station, offering direct links to London Waterloo. It maintains a quiet, settled character, positioned just a short distance from the busier commercial and leisure facilities of both Bournemouth and Poole town centres.
