About

St. Dials is a residential ward located in the northern part of Cwmbran, within the county borough of Torfaen.

It contains a mix of semi-detached and terraced homes, with local amenities including a community centre and primary school serving the immediate neighbourhood.

The ward is bordered by the Llantarnam industrial estate to the south and areas of open green space to the north. A notable local feature is the presence of several ancient field boundaries and hedgerows that trace the lines of older agricultural landscapes, now integrated within the modern street layout. Public footpaths provide access to surrounding woodland and the nearby Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal.
