New figures show that the stunning beauty spot was the most popular place for tourists to visit in Northern Ireland last year.

Speaking to the newspaper, the board's chief executive Alan Clarke said: "It's great news that the majority of attractions in Northern Ireland experienced an increase in visits during 2007.
