Visitor count data at a selection of NRW sites
For the purpose of monitoring its visitor centres, National Nature Reserves (NNR) and bike trails, Natural Resources Wales contracted Linetop LTD to provide data and reporting on visitor numbers.
Reports are produced quarterly and provide a breakdown of visitor numbers in each site and reserve. This data includes:
Site cards - which provide details of counter placements and specification.
Raw Count data - raw counts from sensors.
Reports - summary data provided as MS Word documents at regular intervals.
This metadata entry also covers the Grafana Chambers Electronics downloadable visitor counter data which is time stamp and number count data, which is affectively counting the same thing as the Linetop data.

Data is collected in a variety of methods, further details on the types of counters used and their locations can be found within the Site Cards.
Issues such as data logger failures can occur so Raw Data should be used alongside the reports which identify these issues. Each report has a summary of any technical issues such as counter malfunctions/vandalism.
