I. BAGENALSTOWN

Founded on the River Barrow in the 18th century, Bagenalstown is a charming town, with riverside walks, picnic tables and a picturesque lock close to the fine estate house of Dunleckney Manor. Also known as Muine Bheag, Bagenalstown derives its name from Walter Bagenal, whose original concept for the town was based on Versailles, and the palaces of Louis XIV, with fine streetscapes and classical buildings. The impressive courthouse modelled on the Parthenon in Athens is all that remains of Walter Bagenal’s dream but today Bagenalstown remains a perfect location for outdoor activities with excellent angling and walking along the Barrow Way National Walking Route.
