33 per-cent of those surveyed people said they would pick the world famous cliffs in County Clare as their top spot to take overseas tourists travelling here. 

This is followed closely by Newgrange at 32%, 19% selected the Giant’s Causeway with the Rock of Cashel recorded 9%.

Although, the Cliffs of Moher emerged as highly popular with respondents, 79% admitted it is the heritage site they fear most.

The research also shows the majority of those surveyed visit heritage sites 3/4 times a year with Newgrange in County Meath voted our favourite heritage site for the fifth consecutive year.

According to the survey, country Manors and estate houses are the favourite type of all heritage sites in Ireland while, the Giant’s Causeway was awarded the top place to take a date.
