The Talbot & Branksome Woods electoral ward sits on the edge of Bournemouth and Poole within the unitary authority of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole. It takes in the leafy suburban districts of Talbot Woods and Branksome Woods, a band of wooded streets and villas that grew as Bournemouth expanded in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The area is largely residential, characterised by period houses, conservation areas and attractive green spaces, with a mix of families, professionals and some student accommodation because of the nearby Bournemouth University Talbot Campus. Its proximity to beaches, independent shops and good transport links into the town centres gives it a slightly affluent, commuter-suburb feel while still being close to coastal amenities.
