Keady is a village in
County Armagh situated about 8 miles south of Armagh city and very
close to the border with the Republic of Ireland.
A tributary of the river Callan known as the Clea flows from its
source in Tullynawood lake through the centre of Keady. The river
Clea once powered the towns millwheels. In the centre of the town
stands the Old Mill, which has been converted into a modern Visitor
Centre, Cafe and community enterprise resource. The building is
complete with its own millwheel and acts as the entrance to a
beautiful riverside walk.
The Keady Monument honours William Kirk, the man acknowledged for
bringing economic prosperity to the area with his mills at Keady and
Darkley.
Best known for being a member of the prolific Irish folk music
singing group The Clancy Brothers, internationally renowned folk
musician, artist, poet and storyteller Tommy Makem was born and
raised in Keady.
