Henbury and Brentry

Ward in Bristol, England

Coordinates:51.508, -2.617
OS grid ref:ST 57 79
Dialling code: 0117 (Bristol)

The Henbury and Brentry electoral ward sits on the north‑west edge of Bristol in England. It brings together the old village feel of Henbury with the more suburban, post‑war estates of Brentry, threaded by the River Trym and bordered by substantial green space such as the Blaise Castle Estate and the well‑known picturesque Blaise Hamlet.

Historically the area mixes rural roots and Victorian institutions - the former Brentry Hospital has been redeveloped for housing - and many residents commute into the city or to nearby aerospace and industrial employers around Filton. Local life is marked by small shops, community groups, leisure facilities and green recreational spots including Henbury Golf Club, giving the ward a largely suburban, community‑focused character with pockets of conservation interest.
