Donegal Bay Round 3D Wooden Map – Handcrafted Irish Coastal Wall Art

Donegal Bay · Cuan Dhún na nGall · Co. Donegal, Ireland

A meaningful handmade gift for anyone with a connection to this magnificent bay on the wild northwest coast of Ireland.

Discover the sweeping beauty of Donegal Bay with this beautifully handcrafted round wooden map. One of the great bays of the Wild Atlantic Way, Donegal Bay stretches from the surf beaches of Bundoran in the south to the dramatic sea cliffs of Slieve League in the north, taking in some of the most varied and spectacular coastal scenery in Ireland along the way. The bay is framed by the mountains of Donegal to the north and the hills of Leitrim and Sligo to the south, its waters sheltering the fishing port of Killybegs — Ireland's largest — on its northern shore and the famous surf town of Bundoran at its southern tip. From the golden strands of Rossnowlagh and the estuary at Donegal town to the towering cliffs of Slieve League visible across the bay on a clear day, Donegal Bay is a place of extraordinary scale, beauty and wild Atlantic energy.

This handcrafted 3D wooden map captures Donegal Bay's coastline, headlands, harbours and surrounding landscape in layered detail — made by hand in our Sligo studio from sustainable materials.

Perfect for:

• Surfers and wave riders who know Bundoran as the surf capital of Ireland and one of Europe's premier surf destinations
• Sailors and fishing enthusiasts who know the waters of Donegal Bay and the busy fishing port of Killybegs intimately
• Walkers and coastal explorers drawn to Slieve League, Rossnowlagh and the wild headlands of the Donegal coast
• Anyone with a connection to Donegal Bay, whether you grew up on its shores, surf its waves each season, or simply love this spectacular corner of the northwest

Make it personal:

Add a brass pin to mark a favourite spot — a surf break, a harbour, a favourite beach, a family home or a special place anywhere around the bay — 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.
