The River Yar on the Isle of Wight, England, rises near the beach at Freshwater Bay, on the south coast, and flows only a few miles north to Yarmouth where it meets the Solent.

The estuary from Freshwater to Yarmouth is part of the island's Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

It contains important habitats, including saltmarsh, reedbeds, mud flats and sand dunes.

[5][6] During World war two it was used as the basis of the Yar stop line which was fortified in part with Type 22 pillboxes.
