The Hazel Brook (also known as the Hen), a tributary of the River Trym, flows through Henbury and crosses Henbury Road in a small ford near The Henbury Arms carvery restaurant. The ford is more than a foot deep relatively often and a small bridge exists as a main route for motor vehicles a few metres away.
Henbury is also the name of a council ward for Bristol City Council that includes both Henbury and Brentry.[2]
Henbury Golf Club sits on the south border.
