Northumberland family firm expands Yorkshire portfolio with triple acquisition

The holiday park business which started with just one site in the 1980s now has 15 sites within its portfolio

A growing holiday park group has expanded further into Yorkshire following the addition of three new parks. Maguires Country Parks was first established in 1981 when the Maguire family purchased their first site, Low Carrs Country Park, in County Durham.

The Berwick-based family firm has since grown to offer a collection of holiday, residential and touring parks across the North East and Yorkshire. The company specialises in holiday home ownership and touring experiences, with a focus on well-maintained parks, quality facilities and peaceful countryside locations.

Its holiday and touring destinations include Ord House, Forget Me Not, The Kaims, High Hermitage, Hurworth Springs, Newbus Grange, Marwood, Low Carrs, Nursery Garden, The Burrows, Swaleside and Swainby.

The business now owns 15 sites across Northumberland, County Durham and North Yorkshire after swooping for three sites in North Yorkshire. Directors have announced the addition of Winksley Banks Country Park, Foxhall Country Park and Hutton Bonville Country Park to its growing portfolio.

The expansion strengthens Maguires’ presence across North Yorkshire, with each park offering a distinct setting in well-kept grounds and peaceful surroundings.

Winksley Banks Country Park, based near Ripon, is set within a mature woodland setting close to the banks of the River Laver. The new owners said the park offers a quiet and established environment for holiday home ownership, with easy access to the Yorkshire Dales and surrounding countryside.

Foxhall Country Park meanwhile is set near the market town of Richmond and close to the Yorkshire Dales. The park provides a rural setting with open views across the North Yorkshire countryside, while remaining within easy reach of local amenities and attractions.

Lastly, Hutton Bonville Country Park is situated near Northallerton, offering a more open countryside setting with views across rural North Yorkshire. Its location provides convenient access to both the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors, making it a practical base for exploring the wider region.

All three parks focus on holiday home ownership, giving customers the opportunity to enjoy regular breaks in a consistent and well-managed environment. Each site reflects Maguires Country Parks’ approach to creating relaxed, low-density parks designed for comfort and ease of use throughout the year.

Gilbert Maguire, director of Maguires Country Parks, said: “We’re pleased to bring these three parks into the Maguires portfolio. Each one offers something a bit different in terms of location and setting, but all fit with what we’re about – well-maintained parks in good locations where people can enjoy their time away.”

The addition of Winksley Banks, Foxhall and Hutton Bonville marks a continued period of growth for the family-run business, building on its established presence across the North East and Yorkshire.
