Eastern Yar

Eastern Yar

The River Yar on the Isle of Wight, England, rises in a chalk coomb in St. Catherine's Hill near Niton, close to the southern point of the island. It flows across the Lower Cretaceous rocks of the eastern side of the island before finding its way through the gap in the central Upper Cretaceous chalk ridge of the island at Yarbridge, Brading across the now drained Brading Haven to Brading Harbour and Spithead, near the eastern end of the island.

The Yar is one of two rivers on the Isle of Wight with the same name. It is referred to as the Eastern Yar if it is necessary to distinguish between them.
