It is about 15 minutes walk to/from Durham railway station with baggages which is acceptable, but if you carry multiple heavy baggages, you might want the location to be closer to the station, but the best thing is that this stashpoint is open 24/7 and is inside a hotel so your belongings are guaranteed safe.

FAQs

Does Durham train station have left luggage lockers?

Are there any lockers at Durham's museums for my bag?
Most of Durham's museums cater only to day visitors, so don't plan on storing a bag for longer than your visit, though the Oriental Museum offers free lockers for the duration of your time there. Palace Green Library and the Museum of Archaeology provide coin-operated lockers that return your £1 when you leave.

Luggage storage options across Durham
Durham is a cathedral city and the county town of County Durham, drawing over 20 million visitors a year to its historic centre and university.
If you're visiting the Cathedral itself, plan ahead: it has no bag storage and turns away large bags or anything wheeled. A few of the city's museums do offer lockers for the duration of a visit — Palace Green Library and the Museum of Archaeology each have coin-operated lockers that return your £1, while the Oriental Museum's lockers are free.
For everything else, Stasher offers luggage storage across Durham's wider area, so a suitcase doesn't have to dictate your day. If you're travelling light, the Access Bus service can also accommodate small shopping trolleys and rollators. With Stasher, you can store bags from £1.49 per bag a day.

- Local shop, 3 min walk from Durham Station · rated 5/5 (700+ reviews)

Arriving and getting around Durham by train, coach and bus
Durham Station sits about 0.6 miles from Palace Green and the Cathedral, so the centre is walkable if you're travelling light. The station itself doesn't provide left luggage, and staff point passengers towards storing bags correctly on board trains instead. The number 40 Cathedral bus runs regularly from the station into the city centre, but it's not a bag-friendly fallback: it restricts luggage to standard airline carry-on dimensions of 56cm x 45cm x 25cm, and drivers will refuse standard check-in suitcases. Coaches now use the drop-off and pick-up point on Framwelgate Waterside rather than the station forecourt.
Bag rules at Durham Cathedral and Beamish Museum
Durham Cathedral allows bags no larger than 56cm x 45cm x 25cm and prohibits wheeled suitcases outright, with no storage facilities on site. The same dimensions apply to what you can carry on the Cathedral bus, so a bag that gets you there may not get you in.
Beamish Museum, a short trip out of the city, has no luggage storage and cannot accept items from the public, so leave anything more than a day bag behind before heading out.
