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

Culdaff · Cúil Dabhcha · Co. Donegal, Ireland

A meaningful handmade gift for anyone with a connection to this hidden and beautiful village on the Inishowen Peninsula.

Discover the quiet charm of Culdaff with this beautifully handcrafted round wooden map. Tucked into the northern shore of the Inishowen Peninsula where it faces the open waters of Inishtrahull Sound, Culdaff is one of Donegal's most unspoiled and beloved coastal villages. Its wide, sheltered beach — one of the finest and least visited in the north of Ireland — the clear waters of the Culdaff River meeting the sea at the strand, and the extraordinary coastal scenery of the surrounding Inishowen headlands give it a beauty and tranquility that feels a world away from the bustle of modern life. The nearby Bocan Stone Circle and the rich early Christian heritage of the Inishowen Peninsula add a layer of deep history to a landscape that is already remarkable for its natural beauty and unspoiled character.

This handcrafted 3D wooden map captures Culdaff's beach, river, coastline and surrounding Inishowen landscape in layered detail — made by hand in our Sligo studio from sustainable materials.

Perfect for:

• Beach lovers and wild swimmers who know Culdaff's wide, sheltered strand as one of the finest hidden beaches in the north of Ireland
• History and archaeology lovers drawn to the Bocan Stone Circle and the rich ancient heritage of the Inishowen Peninsula
• Walkers and coastal explorers discovering the remote headlands, beaches and coastal paths of north Inishowen
• Anyone with a connection to Culdaff, whether you grew up nearby, holiday on the strand each summer, or simply love this beautiful and unspoiled corner of Donegal

Make it personal:

Add a brass pin to mark a favourite spot — the beach, the river, a family home or a special place along the Inishowen coast — with a short engraved message on the back.

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.
