Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem, (“the Trip”) claims to have been established in 1189. It is believed that the pub was inaugurated when King Richard the Lionheart and his knights rested here, on their way to Jerusalem. The pub was used as a place for resting by the knights travelling to fight Saracens during the Crusades. The Trip is built against Castle Rock and attached to several sandstone caves, that are used as brewhouse for Nottingham Castle. Legend also says that Nottingham’s beloved outlaw Robin Hood would also stop here for a good ale when he needed to lay low from authorities.
List of Traditional British Pubs
No institution is more English than a pub (short for public house). The pub culture is an important part of British social life and a place to go to socialize, relax, and have a drink. A British pub traditionally has carpets, a fireplace, a jukebox, a decent selection of real ales on draft, and a bell, however with time, the traditional pubs have adapted to modernity too.
