DARENT (The), a river of Kent. It rises near the boundary with Surrey, in the vicinity of Westerham; and runs about 20 miles N by eastward, past Brasted, Chipstead, Otford, Shoreham, Eynsford, Farningham, Sutton-at-Hone, and Dartford, to the Thames, near Long-reach. It is navigable to Dartford, and is there called Dartford-Creek. Spenser describes it as "the still Darent, in whose waters clean Ten thousand fishes play, and deck his pleasant stream."
(John Marius Wilson, Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales (1870-72))
