Upper Cwmbran ( _cy. Cwmbrân Uchaf) is a suburb of Cwmbran, Torfaen in Wales. It lies in between the suburbs of Pontnewydd and Thornhill.

History & Amenities

The area is mainly made up of 1950s and 1960s houses with occasional older Victorian properties. There are two pubs, The Queen Inn and The Bush Inn, along with a convenience store. The main thoroughfare is Thornhill Road, which eventually becomes Ty Pwca Road as it heads towards Pontnewydd.

Upper Cwmbran is home to the Cwmbran Brewery and a welsh longhouse called Gelligravog, built in 1610 above the square. This property has more recently become a bed and breakfast known as Gelligravog Farmhouse B&B.
