Before it came to be known as Cwmbran, this inviting town nestled in the county borough of Torfaen in South Wales was a collection of villages, including Old Cwmbran, Pontnewydd, Upper Cwmbran, Henllys, Croesyceiliog, Llantarnam, and Llanyrafon. Chosen as a New Town in 1949 to invigorate employment opportunities in the South Wales Coalfield, Cwmbran rose from historic roots to become the sixth largest urban area in the nation, with a population of 48,535 as of 2011.

Stepping into the town immerses you in the remnants of Neolithic and Bronze Age civilisations, or the echoes of industry in the 19th and 20th centuries. These undertones of its history cast a romantic hue over Cwmbran's hilly vistas and the Afon Llwyd river valley, wonderfully contrasted by the hustle and bustle of the pedestrianised Cwmbran Centre, boasting superb shopping, entertainment and dining experiences.

When to visit Cwmbran

Although Cwmbran wears its charm all year round, the ideal weather for outdoor explorations falls during July, August, and June, with late July traditionally being the warmest. For those keen on experiencing the best of Cwmbran while on a shoestring budget, December is the ticket.

Spring brings the synergy of pleasant weather and appealing deals, while the summer months from June to August mark the second busiest season for tourism. The golden hues of autumn paint Cwmbran in a different light but pack a warmer wardrobe for this season of moderate precipitation. As your travel itinerary unfolds, remember, the neighbouring towns of Newport, Pontypool, Usk, Blackwood, and Caerphilly each hold unique Welsh experiences, just a short jaunt away.
