Its principal tributaries are the rivers Derwent, Dove, Soar, Erewash and Devon, as well as many small watercourses which discharge into the river. The Romans recognised the value of the river as a route from the sea to the centre of England, and later it acted as an easy route for Viking invaders to attack Nottingham. It has been an historic highway as far back as the Bronze Age when it formed part of the trade route between the Continent and the metal-working industry in Ireland. This may explain the presence of the Celtic element 'rid' in various placenames along the Trent, such as Hill Ridware, as well as the Saxon derived ford. However, a more likely explanation may be that it was considered to be a river that could be crossed principally by means of fords, i.e. This may indeed indicate a river that is prone to flooding. More specifically, the name may be a contraction of two Celtic words, tros ("over") and hynt ("way"). We acknowledge that these are strange and challenging times for us all and we would like to thank each and every one of you for your co-operation and patience.The name "Trent" possibly comes from a Celtic word meaning "strongly flooding".
