Viewed from Henllys Way. Ysgol Gymraeg Cwmbrân is a Welsh language primary school. It opened as an infant and junior school in September 1991 serving the catchment area of Cwmbran town and environs. In September 1997 a nursery class was added to the school. All pupils from the ages of 3 to 11 are educated through the medium of the Welsh language.

When a local mentioned The Three Bears, I thought it was a pub. But no, it is an unofficial alternative name for Ysgol Gymraeg Cwmbrân. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1794581 This view shows the reason for the name.

This OS cut mark can be found on the grave yard wall, Waun Road. It marks a point 79.410m above mean sea level.

Located between Waun Road (ahead) and the former Penywaun Independent Chapel. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3365647 The graves in this small burial ground are tightly packed.

The bear sculptures were created by former Head of Fine Art at Newport College of Art, Tony Stevens, having entered a Welsh Arts Council Competition in about 1970. It was based on his daughter's (Kate, a pupil at the school) favourite story at the time: Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Modelled in clay and cast in fibreglass, Daddy Bear is 6 foot tall, Mummy Bear 5 and Baby Bear 4.
