About

Two Locks is a residential ward situated in the northern part of Torfaen, bordering the community of Cwmbran. The area is primarily composed of housing estates, with local amenities centred along Henllys Way. Its name derives from the pair of locks on the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal, which runs through the ward, providing a linear green corridor for walking and cycling.

The landscape is marked by the surrounding hills of Mynydd Maen, with the canal and the Afon Llwyd river shaping the lower ground. A notable local feature is the 'Fourteen Locks' flight on the Crumlin Arm of the canal, a significant historical site of industrial engineering located within its boundaries. The community is served by a primary school and several small parks.
