Course
The Gwash now helps to fill the Rutland Water reservoir from which a controlled flow is released to maintain its flow around Tolethorpe Hall and Stamford and into the River Welland at TF048075.
East of Stamford, its course is now fixed but it lies in a small flood plain which shows clear signs of the river's former meandering. The pasture fields include depressions which fill in wet seasons forming oxbow lakes, though they are not of the classical shape. Near Stamford it is the parish boundary between Stamford and Uffington.
