Henty Close forms part of the award-winning Aura development, an attractive modern neighbourhood within Great Kneighton on the southern side of Cambridge. The development was designed as part of the wider expansion of Trumpington and occupies a particularly convenient position between the established village and Addenbrooke’s Hospital.

The location is exceptionally convenient for Addenbrooke’s Hospital and the wider Cambridge Biomedical Campus, making it particularly appealing to those working within the city's medical, research and life-science sectors. Dedicated walking and cycling routes, together with the Guided Busway, provide excellent connections through this part of the city.

Trumpington itself has developed into a thriving and largely self-contained area with an excellent range of everyday amenities. These include supermarkets and convenience stores, a GP surgery, pharmacy, community centre and library, restaurants, pubs and other local services. Schooling is also well catered for, with primary and secondary education within Trumpington, while Long Road Sixth Form College and several of Cambridge's independent schools are readily accessible.

The opening of Cambridge South Railway Station is a particularly significant benefit to this location, providing a new rail connection immediately serving the Biomedical Campus and considerably enhancing the area's already excellent transport links.

For those travelling by road, the M11 is easily accessible at Junction 11, providing connections south towards Stansted Airport and London and north via the A14 towards the wider regional road network. Cambridge city centre can be reached by bicycle, bus or car, with the Guided Busway and extensive cycle network providing particularly convenient alternatives.

Despite its accessibility, Trumpington also enjoys excellent access to open countryside. Hobson’s Park and the surrounding green spaces are nearby, while Trumpington Meadows provides extensive walks towards Byron’s Pool and Grantchester. The combination of city amenities, major employment centres, transport connections and surrounding countryside makes this one of the most convenient locations on the southern side of Cambridge.
