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.
