The Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem, reputed to be the oldest pub in the country, is a very popular pub with a great selection of craft ales in a rustic, authentic setting.

Nottingham is the home of Nottingham Forest FC and one of the oldest football clubs in the world, Notts County FC – Nottingham Forest’s City Ground and Notts County’s Meadow Lane stadium are on either sides of the River Trent. Nottinghamshire Cricket Club, first formed in 1771 and winner of the County Championship on over a dozen occasions, are based at Trent Bridge, only a short walk from City Ground.

The picturesque Elizabethan mansion, Wollaton Hall, is also the site of one of Nottingham’s most fascinating museums: the Nottingham Natural History Museum, an eclectic exhibit of over 750,000 fossils, plants and preserved taxidermy from rare specimens across the world. You can also find brilliant displays at the Museum of Nottingham Life and the Nottingham Industrial Museum, plus many more great museums across Nottingham.
