  Branksome, Dorset, England
Branksome has one side called the Park and the other literally on the other side of the tracks, an area mainly of terraced residences built around the Gas Works.
Branksome Park is the area which stretched through the lovely woodland to the Chines, now developed for the pleasure of visitors at Branksome and Branksome Dene.
The drive to the house is now the Branksome Avenue, and until recent years the Lodge at the Westbourne entrance to the Park was used as an Estate Agent’s office, but a new gyratory traffic scheme and the erection of large office blocks completely changed the area.

Bran was killed in Ireland and his head is said to have been brought to England by sea, travelling along the south coast and up the Thames Estuary.
It is thought that Branksome in Dorset, and Bransgore in Hampshire might retain in their placenames, a trace of significant points along this journey, much as Charing Cross marks the funeral procession of a later royal.
I'd just like to clarify that Bran was attacking Ireland to rescue his sister Branwen, who was being mistreated by her husband (Matholwch).
