Cemmaes Road (Welsh : Glantwymyn; Welsh pronunciation ) is a village in Powys, Wales. It is in the community (civil parish) of Glantwymyn.

The Welsh name for the village, and for the community, is Glantwymyn (English: The Twymyn Riverside), as it lies on the River Twymyn. According to the United Kingdom Census 2001, the population of the community is 1,072, increasing to 1,185 at the 2011 Census.

The 26 miles (42 km) from Cardiff Bay to Merthyr Tydfil are mainly direct and good quality dual carriageway, but most of the route from north of Merthyr to Llandudno is single carriageway that has seen improvement in the last 20 to 30 years.
