Ripon Cathedral. I was married there and my children have been christened there. It has always been an important and special place to my husband and his family.

Book a spa day at Grantley Hall. The hotel is beautiful so I am sure the new spa days will be wonderful.

The inspiration for Alice and Wonderland came from Lewis Carol’s time sat in the choir in Ripon Cathedral.
What is your favourite cultural icon to come out of Yorkshire?
One of my first experiences of Yorkshire was when my mother in law bought out cheese with the Christmas cake – a very foreign concept for non-Yorkshire folk!
Worst experience or thing about Yorkshire?
When Yorkshire people fail to realise that the tea is not from Yorkshire!
What is one thing you’d steal from Lancashire (or other UK regions) if you could?
Cheese. Lancashire is better than Wensleydale!

Yorkshire Puddings.
