The HQ and shop are run by volunteers who are happy to provide any information on the Canal Trust and it's activities. They will take rowing boat bookings and same day reservations for the scheduled daily Egremont boat trips. Visitors will find a good supply of leaflets advertising a wide range of other local tourist attractions. They will also find that the shop staff are a mine of information about the history of the canal and things to see and do in the area.
