Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem

One of several establishments claiming to be the oldest in England is Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem in Nottingham, England. It was once Nottingham Castle's medieval brewhouse, which was built into the rocks beneath the castle. Currently, it is a Grade II-listed structure.

The oldest elements of the structure, which is where the tavern is located, date back to the early 17th century, according to several sources, despite claims that the building dates back to 1189. This inn may not be the oldest in England, but it certainly has a lot of fascinating history within its walls.

The name of the bar comes from a gathering place used by King Richard the Lionheart and his troops in 1189 AD before they traveled to Jerusalem. Additionally, it was rumored to be the renowned bandit Robin Hood's local hideout. The term "travel" in the name is really believed to relate to a stop along a journey rather than the actual voyage, designating the bar as a place people might stop on a lengthy pilgrimage, for example.

Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem is a great tavern for anyone interested in history even though its precise chronology is difficult to pinpoint. It's a wonderfully eerie place with a sense of history, especially if you peruse its many antiquities or enjoy a drink in one of the cave rooms at the back.
