Brentry is a suburb of north Bristol, England, between Henbury and Southmead which is spread along the southern edge of the Avonmouth-London railway line. The area is bounded by Filton Aerodrome to the north and Filton Golf Course to the east. Brentry has a mix of high-quality private housing and good former council housing.
The main road passing through the area was, for a decade or so, the main route for A38 traffic going through Bristol, but the bisection of the Filton Bypass by the runway for the giant Bristol Brabazon aircraft in the late 1940s downgraded its status. The hangar for the aircraft, once the largest such structure in the world, is at the edge of Brentry, directly below the Filton Golf Course hill. Pen Park Hole is a large cavern situated beneath the hill, to which access is strictly limited.
