Stile leading to woodland, Upper Cwmbran
A sign next to the stile has the initials BBCW - Blaen Bran Community Woodland. There are two areas in BBCW : Blaen Bran farm and Coed Gwaun-y-Fferiad (Priest’s Moor). Blaen Bran farm, now gone, was built into the mountainside and probably looked similar to other mountain farms of the era. Blaen Bran is the source of the Bran brook which runs down a small valley into the Afon Lwyd river. The valley became known as Cwmbran, hence the name of the town. All that remains on the former farm site are some stone walls and part of one wall of the farmhouse.
