Bagenalstown or Muine Bheag is a town on the River Barrow in Co. Carlow. It has a fascinating history, being the first in Ireland to have dual Irish-English signage. It was founded in the early 1700s by aristocrat Walter Bagenal, who purportedly wanted to model Bagnealstown on Versailles, France, originally naming the town 'New Versailles.'

Nearby attractions such as the 13th century Ballymoon Castle and the 100km Barrow Way way trail lends this Carlow town plenty of charm. The Carlow Brewing Company (makers of O'Haras Irish stout) is located in the town, and is one of the largest craft breweries in Ireland.
