Henbury and Brentry

About

Henbury and Brentry form a residential ward in northwest Bristol, characterised by a mix of post-war housing estates and older village cores. The area is largely defined by its green spaces, including the large Blaise Castle Estate with its historic mansion and extensive woodland walks. The community is served by local shopping parades along Crow Lane and Henbury Road, providing essential retail services within the neighbourhoods.

The area's landscape is marked by the prominent Henbury Hill and the open grounds of the former Brentry Hospital. A notable local feature is the Henbury Loop, a disused railway line now popular as a walking and cycling path that traces the ward's eastern boundary. Residential streets are primarily composed of semi-detached and terraced homes, with a distinct separation between the historic Henbury village centre and the more modern Brentry housing development.
