DERWENT (The), a river of Northumberland and Durham. It rises near Allenhead; runs about 22 miles east-north-eastward, through a hilly country, chiefly on the boundary between Northumberland and Durham; then goes 7½ miles north-eastward, across the north-western part of Durham, to the Tyne at Derwent-haugh.
