River Trent

The River Trent is one of the major rivers of the Midlands. It is 125 miles long; from its source in the Staffordshire Moorlands, on the southern edge of Biddulph Moor, it sweeps in a great loop through the heart of the Midlands, through Staffordshire, Derbyshire, the boundary of Leicestershire, and through Nottinghamshire until it joins the Yorkshire Ouse at Trent Falls to form the Humber, which empties into the North Sea below Kingston upon Hull and Immingham.

The Trent has a tidal bore, the "Trent Aegir". The area drained by the river includes most of the northern Midlands. (Read more)
