| Origin | Calary Bog, County Wicklow |
| Mouth | Irish Sea at Wicklow |
The Vartry River rises in Calary Bog under the Sugar Loaf mountain in north County Wicklow. Near Roundwood it was dammed in the 1840s in two places to form the Vartry Reservoir.
From the reservoir lakes it flows east through Ashford, under the N11 and into The Murragh, a marshy area that formed inside a coastal railway line built in the 1860s.
The Murragh drains into the Irish Sea near Wicklow Town.
