Top 10 from 2013

As we ease into 2014 we thought we’d take a look back at our most popular posts and 360° photos as visited by you.  We’ve excluded any referral traffic from this report and concentrated solely on direct visits and organically searched for posts.

Northern Ireland is the clear winner here with ALL of our Top 10 coming from this up and coming region.  Is this a sign of the times for Northern Ireland?  This destination has enjoyed much success and visibility over 2013 with the City of Culture events and the popular TV series Game of Thrones filmed here attracting travellers from across the globe.

We’re delighted to see it and admittedly a little biased as it’s where we’re based. 🙂 Northern Ireland is a unique location. What makes it even more special is that it’s all so accessible. Every corner of the country is within a two hour drive so exploring its distinctive landmarks couldn’t be easier.

So without further ado…here are the Top 10 most popular posts and 360° photos you viewed in 2013.
