Did you consider Googling "South Wales Bouldering" ? http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/swbouldering/

Loads of OK places, nothing I would call world class though.

The best boulder venue in South Wales is Dinas Rock near Glyn Neath.  It's well documented on www.swbg.co.uk.  There will hopefully be some video of the problems there going onto the site in the new year.

Ogmore is pretty good with a few decent bays.  These are also well documented on the site.

Depending on how hard you boulder, Foxhole in the Gower has some really strong problems.

Other than these places, it's mainly Sandstone eliminate bouldering in the area, but we are on the lookout for new stuff.  Jonboy (a user of this site) in particular seems to be investigating the Gower coastline.  If you find anything of note, please let me know.

Fox, where are you based?  I'm in Pontypridd, but like I said it's mainly eliminate Sandstone around by me.  Jonboy is searching out the Gower and seems to have found some areas.

you may already know of it but Huntsham Hill is worth a look. Just outside Monmouth on A40 (Ross side). Sandstone/soft as hell conglomerate but some good stuff to be found.
