The River Trent rises in northwest Staffordshire and flows through the counties of Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, and Lincolnshire, joining the Ouse and entering the North Sea through the Humber after a course of about 170 miles.
Its chief tributaries are the Dove, Derwent, Idle and Soar. The Trent is tidal for about 40 miles.
