: Can anyone tell me the name of this moth, as I'm not to sure if it's part of the 'Six-spot Burnet family' I took this photo this afternoon at Merthyr Mawr Nature Reserve.

It look like a Six-spot Burnet to me. The red patch at the base of the wing which is divided by a vein counts as two spots. If it were a Five-spot there would just be a single spot at the other end of the wing.
