Cwmcelyn

Formerly a feeder pond, Cwmcelyn Pond has now been transformed into a recreational lake for fishing.

Cwmcelyn or Cwm Celyn, is a small community situated within the eastern South Wales Valleys. A suburb of Blaina, Cwmcelyn comes under the unitary authority of Blaenau Gwent and lies within the ancient parish of Aberystruth and the historic county of Monmouthshire.

Education

Ystruth Primary provides education to children in the 3 - 11 age group and also houses a Special Needs Resource Base. Secondary education is available at Ebbw Fawr and Brynmawr. Ebbw Vale's Blaenau Gwent Learning Zone is the primary provider of Further Education.

Sport, leisure and tourism

Lying on the Ebbw Fach trail, Cwmcelyn Pond and Woodlands are a designated nature reserve and has benefited from considerable regeneration. The area is now able to offer walks, a picnic area, an outdoor 'open' classroom and licensed fishing at Cwmcelyn Pond.
