It’s Nottingham’s most famous pub and reputedly England’s oldest inn having the date of 1189 painted on the outside. Continue your journey back in time by stepping inside and in the summer months you can enjoy some traditional English ale in the beer garden. You’ll find “The Trip” as it’s affectionately known at the foot of the rock below Nottingham Castle. This is an extract from our free Nottingham City Guide.
The hanging sign
Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem has a number of “rooms” inside. It’s size is deceiving because it is carved into the castle rock behind to add extra space. The unusual name is reputed to come from Richard the Lionheart’s crusade against the Saracens who occupied the Holy Land. Crusaders are reputed to have stopped at the foot of the castle rock for drinks before journeying to Jerusalem.
