Carol again:
Blush! "The Wold" is a real place but not a river! I guess it means "Stow-on-the-Hill" since it's in the Cotswolds. Should have looked more carefully before I posted.

Carol, now thinking that a Russian word rhyming with the Russian word for "hill" would work--again assuming that such a word exists
