A holiday firm has taken the reins at a Cheshire caravan park with plans to turn it into a major destination.
Fishpool Farm Caravan Park in Delamare has been acquired by Ty Gwyn, which is based in North Wales.
The company has also announced plans to invest in the site and create what it said would be one of the region’s ‘most sought-after’ destinations for lodges, static caravans and touring caravans and motor homes.
The new owners have renamed it Fishpool Holiday Park and said it would reopen towards the end of April following a programme of ‘infrastructure works’ and the delivery of a mix of new ‘luxury’ lodges and caravans.
The company said it would have caravans and lodges for rent and sale, while continuing to offer facilities for tourers on a seasonal and nightly basis. Some of the lodges will be solar-enabled and there will be EV charging points.
Work is already underway including groundworks, drainage and landscaping with the first of the new caravan stock having been delivered.
Rhodri Owen, a director of Ty Gwyn, said: “We are looking forward to welcoming new holiday makers to Fishpool Holiday Park after the completion of our programme of works which are already well underway.
“We believe that the new site will provide aspirational holiday makers and their dogs with a wonderful base for their holiday with the choice of holiday lodges and caravans and pitches for touring caravans.”
He added: “The holiday park is set in five acres, close to the pretty village of Tarporley and with Chester just a few miles further away. We are also fortunate to be on the doorstep of Delamere Forest, one of the region’s most popular leisure destinations, offering something for all ages.”
An application had previously been lodged with Cheshire West and Chester Council to convert Fishpool Farm Caravan Park from a site which currently has touring and static caravans, along with glamping pods, into a site purely for statics.
