Durham Grange site
We are considering a short break here in spring, does anyone know if there is motorhome parking for the city or if there is public transport near the site? I've looked up the details of the site on here but there is no info regarding this. Thanks

Meecee, we haven't stayed at Durham Grange but when we visited the city in October, we stayed at the Durham Amateur Rowing Club CL for £12.50 a night.
It is slightly outside the city but the route in is very walkable along a nice flat path beside the river. There are facilities inside the clubhouse that we found to be perfectly acceptable, although you may want to check when they're open as it closes at random times. The pitches are hard standing, although with grass surrounds (in case that's a problem with the scooter!).
Anyway, I know it's not quite what you asked for, but I was thinking that even if it's not right for you, you could even contact them and ask about day parking (for a small price, obviously!).

Don't forget this site is closed for 5 weeks from the 23rd January for "essential improvements"

The rowing club CL is very nice, and an easy flat walk into town. Durham centre can be a bit hilly if you are not aware of this.

To add to my first post - as the Park & Ride buses charge a fare and are on a service route then I think they must meet DDA requirements which includes wheelchair access but don't know about scooters. They are run by Scarlet Band Motor Services from West Cornforth phone number 01740 654247. I'm sure a call would answer the issue.
The rugby club CL is indeed a 10-15 min stroll to the centre which could be taken along the riverside.
However I would agree about the hilly nature of Durham City means the scooter is perhaps better than a wheelchair.
