Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem is a public house in Nottingham which claims to have been established in 1189; however, there is no documentation to verify this date. The building rests against Castle Rock, upon which Nottingham Castle is built, and is attached to several caves, carved out of the soft sandstone. These were reputedly originally used as a brewhouse for the castle, though there is no evidence for this, but they may date to the medieval period. Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem is one of several pubs claiming to be the oldest in England
