Callan River

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Callan River is a river in Northern Ireland which joins the River Blackwater 1.6km upstream from Bond's Bridge. It is navigable by dinghy or canoe for 2km to Fairlawn Bridge. It flows in a generally southerly direction from Tullnawood lake, past Darkley, passing within a few miles of Keady town, through Tassagh and on to Armagh. The area upstream of Armagh has many former linen mills that were built to use the waterpower of the river. There is also a viaduct at Tassagh that once carried the railway line from Armagh to Keady.
