Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem - Nottingham - TravBuddy

Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem one of the oldest pubs in all of England. I wanted to come to this pub because i enjoy crusades era history and to me this pub was a big part of the crusades, since the crusaders would stop at the pub before going off to the middle east to fight in the crusades against the saracens. The food i must say was excellent and the brew was even better. The old catacombs i enjoyed. You really become a part of its history when you enter the pub. There are plenty of things to purchase to remember your stay, T-shirts ect. I bought a deck of playing cards. If your ever in Nottingham you have to come to this pub. To me its right up there with seeing Big Ben and the Tower Bridge. The people working and drinking at the pub are friendly and approachable and always willing to tell a good tale over a pint.

Suposedly the oldest pub in all of England, the Crusaders under Richard the Lionheart stopped here to drink before heading off. Built under the walls of Nottingham Castle, people know of this pub world round.

It's rooms have low ceilings and I felt like I had entered a museum, not a pub. My family and I had a nice time here. The atmosphere was great, not stiff like some pubs. Welcoming and most staff are keen to tell you about the history if you don't have an accent like them. They started to tell me a story, but after hearing my dad talk, they left me alone.

I would recommend this because it is like nothing you will ever find in North America and it's just a great experiance if you visit the pub and the castle in a day.
