Croesyceiliog is a residential suburb and community in the southern part of Torfaen, close to the town centre of Cwmbran in Wales. It sits on gentle slopes above the valley and benefits from good road links, making it a popular commuter base for nearby centres such as Newport and Cardiff.
The neighbourhood mixes post‑war and later housing with a small village centre of shops, community facilities and a well‑known secondary school. With nearby woodland and open spaces it attracts walkers and families, and its growth was shaped by the post‑war expansion of Cwmbran as a New Town; today local life revolves around schools, sports clubs and neighbourhood groups while many residents work in retail, light industry or commute to regional employment centres.
