Reading this table
Annual visits is an official published figure or nothing at all — no cell here holds an estimate. Score is the combined 0–100 ranking score, and confidence reflects what stands behind it: high means an official count for the attraction itself, medium means a count covering a wider area or public interest data alone, low means neither.
Where a figure is marked whole area, it counts visits across an entire recreation area rather than to any single site inside it. The full weighting is on the methodology page.
