River_Darent comment "The Darent is a Kentish tributary of the River Thames. The landscapes of the valley of the River Darent were painted in a visionary manner by the early Victorian artist Samuel Palmer.

Considering that the Darent runs on a bed of chalk and its springs rise through chalk, this is not surprising. Darenth Parish (through which the river flows) derives from a Celtic phrase 'stream where oak-trees grow' (Irish: "dair" = 'oak-tree', "abha" = river )(compare e.g."Derwent") The confusion is excusable but the "stream where the oak trees grow" is the Darent ." external.
