The Avenue, Branksome
Image: © Mike Faherty Taken: 23 Nov 2008
Fine pine-lined road from County Gates south to Branksome Chine. Originally built by CW Packe as drive to his estate, later the Branksome Towers Hotel, now demolished. Behind the pines, there are few traces of the once grand mansions that were here; they have been replaced by monolithic blocks of flats. http://www.thedorsetpage.com/locations/Place/B280.htm
