The OPW has three heritage sites in County Donegal, which are open to the public, have a full guide service and charge an admission fee, Donegal Castle, Glebe House and Gallery and, Newmills Corn and Flax Mills.

The numbers of visitor to these sites were:

Year Donegal Castle Glebe House Newmills
1999 38,879 6,022 3,346
2000 39,979 7,666 2,737
2001 33,241 10,049 2,881
2002 32,298 9,005 2,428
2003 35,235 9,586 2,897

There are a number of other national monuments in State care in County Donegal to which the public has access, but, as a fee is not charged it is not possible to determine with accuracy the number of visitors these attract.
