Getting here:
The Lindisfarne Centre is approximately a 30-minute walk from the train station or, alternatively, you may wish to take a taxi from the taxi rank at the station.
There are several express coach services daily from most major cities. It should take approximately 30 minutes to walk from the bus stop on North Road to The Lindisfarne Centre.
From the North or South (A1M): Use the postcode DH1 3LJ, if using Satnav. Exit at Junction 62 (to Durham City). You will travel down a dual carriageway for 1.5 miles. At the roundabout, go straight ahead towards the City Centre. You will then go down a hill. Use the left-hand lane and take the first exit at the lights. At the next set of lights use the right-hand lane to go straight on. You will then come to a fork in the road, take the right-hand fork and follow this road to the crossroads. Go straight ahead at the crossroad and then drive up the hill and look for the first turn on your right, then take the first left and look for signs that say Lindisfarne Centre on your right. We cannot offer onsite parking but have put alternative arrangements in place with the Park and Ride, information is provided below.
