Clifden Round 3D Wooden Map – Handcrafted Irish Coastal Wall Art

Clifden · An Clochán · Co. Galway, Ireland

A meaningful handmade gift for anyone with a connection to this vibrant and beautiful town at the heart of Connemara.

Discover the wild charm of Clifden with this beautifully handcrafted round wooden map. Known as the capital of Connemara, Clifden sits at the head of Clifden Bay where the Owenglin River meets the sea, its twin church spires rising above a town of colourful shopfronts, lively pubs and one of the most dramatic natural settings of any town in Ireland. The Twelve Bens mountain range dominates the horizon to the east, the Sky Road — one of the most celebrated scenic drives in the west of Ireland — loops out along the headland to the west, and the vast bogland and lake-studded landscape of Connemara stretches in every direction. Clifden is a town that punches well above its size — its arts festival, food scene, music tradition and the sheer beauty of its surroundings make it a destination that draws visitors from across Ireland and the world year after year.

This handcrafted 3D wooden map captures Clifden's bay, town, surrounding coastline and Connemara landscape in layered detail — made by hand in our Sligo studio from sustainable materials.

Perfect for:

• Walkers and cyclists exploring the Sky Road, the Connemara Loop and the wild bogland trails around Clifden
• Arts and music lovers drawn to the Clifden Arts Festival and the town's thriving creative and cultural scene
• Food and hospitality enthusiasts who know Clifden as one of the west of Ireland's most rewarding culinary destinations
• Anyone with a connection to Clifden, whether you grew up there, holiday in Connemara each year, or simply love this brilliant corner of Galway

Our Local Spots maps are round, framed wooden 3D maps, designed to capture meaningful Irish places in a simple, tactile format.

Each map measures approximately 220mm across and 42mm deep. It is ready to hang and also comes with a small clip-together stand, so it can be displayed on a wall, shelf, desk or sideboard.

Each map is framed without glass, allowing the depth, texture and natural wood grain to remain visible. Available with a natural or black frame.

Depths and elevations are shown in metres where included in the design.

You can add a short engraved message to the back of your map and a brass pin to mark a special place on the front for an additional charge.

To add this option, select “Map with engraving + brass pin” before adding the map to your cart, then enter your message and the Eircode or location details in the box provided.

If the place does not have an Eircode, you can describe the location instead.

Each Local Spots map is designed and made by Outcrop in our County Sligo studio.

We use geographic data to create the layered map design, then laser cut, stain, hand-sand, finish, frame and check each piece in our workshop before it is packed for delivery.

Made in small batches, each map carries the natural warmth of wood and the care of something made by hand.

Each Local Spots map is made from FSC-certified bamboo plywood, chosen for its strength, fine grain and natural warmth.

Our round frames are made from FSC-certified birch, sourced from sustainably managed Finnish forests. We use water-based, non-toxic glues and stains to finish each piece by hand.

Your map is wrapped in protective tissue and presented in an unbleached, recycled cardboard box. Our packaging is plastic-free, and each piece is designed to be kept, gifted and enjoyed for years.

Your map comes ready to hang, and also includes a small clip-together wooden stand for displaying it on a shelf, desk or sideboard.

To use the stand, pop out the two pieces, slot them together and rest your map securely on top.

For best results, display indoors and avoid prolonged direct sunlight,
as this may gradually affect the blue colour or natural bamboo tone over time.

Dust gently with a soft dry cloth or a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment.

Each Local Spots map is made to order in our Sligo studio, rather than held in large quantities of stock. This helps us make carefully, reduce waste and manage our small workshop space.

Please allow up to 2 weeks for dispatch during our normal production flow.

Your map will be carefully wrapped and presented in an unbleached, recycled cardboard box, ready to give as a gift. We do not include pricing inside the parcel, so it can be sent directly to the recipient.

If your order is a gift, you can leave us a note at checkout with any packing or delivery details.

If you need your map sooner, please contact us before ordering and we’ll let you know what is possible.
