About

Fairwater and Greenmeadow is a residential area situated in the north of Cwmbran. The neighbourhood is largely composed of post-war housing, with a mix of terraced homes and low-rise flats built across gently sloping ground. Its layout is defined by several circular roads and cul-de-sacs, creating a quiet, inward-facing environment away from main thoroughfares.

The area is served by a local shopping precinct on Greenmeadow Way, which includes essential amenities. A notable feature is the large, central playing field known as The Rec, which is bordered by woodland and provides open green space for the community. This area connects directly to the wider network of footpaths that run through Cwmbran's green corridors.
