There are loads of places in the Beacons that have bats. In the early 1980s I was involved in a bat survey of the part of the Beacons in carmarthenshire. I can condense some of the results of that if you like.

I once did some bat ringing in Aggie. Got a bo***king from the National Parks.
Rhinlophus hipposideros minutus are to be found in most caves in the Brecon Beacons.

Hellie,
I Don't know much about the bat scene in S.Wales but you can give me a bell for general advice if you want. Adam has my mob no (or quite a few other SUSSites).
We are doing some survey in the Peak using Anabat bat detectors which we can leave in situ for 3-4 weeks at a time. Alas we only have 2 (cos they arent cheap) so hopefully we'll get some good data this winter.
