About

Upper Cwmbran is a residential ward situated on the northern slopes above the town centre. The area is characterised by post-war housing estates, primarily built to accommodate workers for the former heavy industries in the wider borough. The layout is functional, with homes arranged along curving roads and cul-de-sacs that follow the contours of the hillside. Green spaces and patches of woodland are integrated throughout the estates, providing areas for recreation.

The ward offers views over the central town and the surrounding valley. Local amenities are focused on community needs, with several primary schools and convenience shops serving the neighbourhoods. A notable feature is the Llantarnam Grange Arts Centre, located just within its boundary, which provides a cultural focus with exhibitions and workshops. The area is connected to the wider town by a network of pedestrian paths and bus routes.
