School Groups - Visitor Centre

School groups - schools are counted as a separate group if the same school made a visit on separate days. The smaller groups of the same school through the Centre on the same day are counted as one group. These numbers only show the school groups that used the Visitor Centre. Many groups went directly out onto the Park bypassing the Visitor Centre.

Estimating Visitor Numbers to the Park

Since 28/1/96 we have been able to record the numbers of vehicles using the car parks through automatic vehicle counters. Through comparing the number of clicks to the number of vehicles in, and counting the numbers of people per vehicle, we can then estimate the total numbers of people using the car park. Estimates for 1997 = 460 000 people using the car parks.
