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.
