About Cwmbran - show infohide info
Cwmbran is a new town in southern Wales, established in the 1950s to provide new employment in the south eastern portion of the South Wales coalfield. Based around the villages of Cwmbran, Pontnewydd, Upper Cwmbran, Croesyceiliog, Llantarnam and Llanyrafon, it has grown into a thriving and prosperous town of 60,000 people. Sitting as it does on the corner of the South Wales coalfield it has a hilly aspect to its western and northern edges, with the surrounding hills climbing to over 1000 feet. The Afon Llwyd forms the major river valley; although the most significant water course is probably the remains of the Monmouthshire and Brecon canal. To the east of Cwmbran the land is less hilly, forming part of the Usk valley. Cwmbran is close to the cities of Cardiff and Bristol, as well as the large towns of Newport, Pontypool, Ebbw Vale, Pontypridd and Caerphilly, and the Brecon Beacons National Park.
