About

Branston is a village and civil parish in East Staffordshire, about two miles south of Burton upon Trent. It sits near the River Trent and surrounding farmland, with housing, shops and community facilities focused along the main street. Local amenities include a primary school, a village hall and playing fields used by sports clubs and groups. The parish council handles community matters and maintains green spaces and footpaths that link the village to nearby lanes and waterways.

The area is known locally for Branston Water Park, a series of lakes and reedbeds used by anglers and birdwatchers, and for canal and river access that attract walkers and boaters. Branston also lent its name to Branston Pickle after a factory in the village produced the product in the early 20th century; jars bearing the name kept the association alive after production moved. Regular bus services connect the village to Burton and other towns in East Staffordshire.
