As the pace of everyday life continues to accelerate, more and more people are seeking a simpler, more peaceful way to live. In the North East of England, a growing number of over-45s are discovering a lifestyle that offers both comfort and community – residential parks in the North East at Maguires Country Parks.
Tucked away in scenic surroundings and brimming with charm, residential caravan parks in the North East are quickly becoming a popular choice for those looking to downsize without compromising on quality. And at Maguires Country Parks, we’ve reimagined what it means to call a park home.
From the serene hills of Northumberland to the quaint market towns of County Durham, the North East offers a slower pace of life and a stronger sense of connection – both to nature and community.
Coastal charm and countryside beauty: Enjoy nearby beaches, woodland walks, and open green spaces.
Historic towns and local culture: Markets, festivals, cafés, and galleries all add to the lifestyle.
Excellent transport links: Whether you’re near Durham or the beauty of Berwick-upon-Tweed, you’re well-connected without the city crowds.
It’s no wonder people are trading bricks and mortar for something more grounded and fulfilling.
At its core, residential park living offers the opportunity to live in a purpose-built, fully furnished lodge or static caravan within a secure, gated park community. It’s a lifestyle designed for ease, enjoyment, and a stronger sense of freedom.
Unlike traditional housing, park homes are:
Low-maintenance and energy-efficient
More affordable than standard properties
Part of a like-minded, supportive community
They’re also built to the BS3632 residential standard, meaning they’re suitable for year-round living – warm in the winter, cool in the summer, and always welcoming.
At Maguires, we don’t just offer permanent caravan sites. We offer five-star residential experiences at our three stunning North East parks:
Set in 44 acres of beautifully landscaped parkland, this award-winning park blends countryside calm with coastal convenience. With an on-site bar and lounge, secure gated access, and a friendly resident community, Ord House the perfect place to start your next chapter.
A tranquil, lakeside development in a peaceful village setting, Hurworth Springs is made for those who want to slow down and truly savour life. Ideal for fishing, walking, or simply relaxing in your private retreat.
For those who love being close to culture and amenities, Low Carrs is just a short hop from the historic cathedral city of Durham. Enjoy quiet surroundings with easy access to shops, restaurants, and local attractions.
“We were blown away, we just walked in and said ‘wow’, it was everything we were looking for. Even driving through the gates before we arrived, it was the ‘wow’ factor.”
– Richard & Judy, Hurworth Springs Residents
