My Yorkshire: Caroline Pullich, Barclays
Caroline is Head of Business & Corporate Banking West Yorkshire at Barclays Corporate Banking.
What is your favourite place to visit in Yorkshire and why?
I love Bolton Abbey – it’s really beautiful to walk around and I like visiting the Brasserie and Spa at the Devonshire Arms. I also have happy memories as I got married there.
What is still on your “to do” list in the region?
I haven’t yet been on the North York Moors Railway – I’ve always meant to do this as the scenery is meant to be stunning.
What is the most memorable meal you’ve ever had?
Most definitely the Box Tree in Ilkley – sumptuous surroundings and exquisite food!
What is your most Yorkshire trait?
I love to do a Sunday roast with Yorkshire Puddings and all the trimmings – I like to make my own Yorkshires with our own free range eggs.
Favourite piece of trivia about the region.
That Yorkshire has a larger population than Scotland and an economy twice the size of Wales
What is your favourite cultural icon to come out of Yorkshire?
Dame Judy Dench – such a star
First experience of Yorkshire (for non-Yorkies)
N/A
Worst experience or thing about Yorkshire?
Trying to get in to Yorkshire across the M62!
What is one thing you’d steal from Lancashire (or other UK regions) if you could?
We have everything from parkland to moorland, coastland and some great dales but I would probably steal a Selfridges department store if I could!
What is the most overrated thing about Yorkshire?
I don’t think we’re quite as tight as many make out!
