SAMPLE ANSWER
The bar chart shows the proportion of adults who made visits to different places of historical interest in England in 2009/10.
Generally speaking, visits to heritage sites appear to be popular. The sites that interested people most were historic cities or towns, with 55 per cent of those surveyed visiting such sites. These were followed by historic gardens; historic buildings; and castles, forts or ruins, at approximately 43, 38 and 37 per cent respectively. A smaller proportion visited historic places of worship (about 27 per cent). The least popular places to visit were industrial history sites, sites of archaeological interest and sports heritage sites (approximately 20, 15 and 5 per cent respectively).
The pie chart reflects the continued interest in visiting historical places in the near future. The majority (55 per cent) said they are likely to visit historical sites in the next six months with only 15 per cent saying they would not and 30 per cent undecided.
