River Darent

(重定向自Darent)
River Darent, in relation to the other rivers of Kent
The Darent flowing through Central Park, Dartford
European kingfisher on the Darent at Lullingstone Castle

The Darent is a Kentish tributary of the River Thames. Bartholomew's Gazetteer (1951) demonstrates that Darent means "clear water". Considering that it runs on a bed of chalk (calcium carbonate) and its springs rise through chalk, this is not surprising. The word 'Darenth' is frequently found in older books and maps [incorrectly] describing the river. Darenth Parish (through which the river flows) derives its name from a Celtic phrase 'stream where oak-trees grow'. (Irish: "dair" = 'oak-tree', "abha" = river ) (compare e.g."Derwent")
