Muine Bheag or Muinebheag, also known in English as Bagenalstown, is a small town in County Carlow which rises from the south of the River Barrow and continues to gently rise towards its neighbouring town of Borris. A small wildlife sanctuary exists between the man-made canal and the River Barrow. This town has a very attractive architectural culture. Many buildings around the historic market square are from the 19th and 20th century. Modern redevelopment has become a huge hindrance on this town's unique historical identity. These old buildings can be seen providing a large range of functions within the town such as retail and residential. Many old Georgian houses have a modern shop front but still provide their original residential functions on the second story.
