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

Dundalk · Dún Dealgan · Co. Louth, Ireland

A meaningful handmade gift for anyone with a connection to this proud and historic town on the shores of Dundalk Bay.

Discover the character and beauty of Dundalk with this beautifully handcrafted round wooden map. The largest town in Co. Louth and the commercial heart of Ireland's northeast coast, Dundalk sits at the head of Dundalk Bay where the Castletown River meets the sea, with the Cooley Mountains rising dramatically to the east and the border with Northern Ireland just a few miles to the north. It is a town steeped in history and mythology — Dundalk is the legendary home of Cú Chulainn, the great hero of the Ulster Cycle, and its strategic position on the eastern corridor between Dublin and Belfast has made it one of the most fought-over and historically significant towns in Ireland. Today Dundalk is a vibrant, growing town with a strong sporting tradition, a thriving business community and a proud sense of its own identity and place.

This handcrafted 3D wooden map captures Dundalk, Dundalk Bay and the surrounding Co. Louth landscape in layered detail — made by hand in our Sligo studio from sustainable materials.

Perfect for:

• GAA and sporting enthusiasts who know Dundalk's proud tradition in football, soccer and athletics
• History and mythology lovers drawn to the legend of Cú Chulainn and the rich ancient heritage of Co. Louth
• Walkers and outdoor lovers exploring the Cooley Mountains, the Táin Way and Dundalk Bay on the town's doorstep
• Anyone with a connection to Dundalk, whether you grew up there, moved away, or simply love this proud corner of Co. Louth

Make it personal:

Add a brass pin to mark a favourite spot — the bay, the Cooley Mountains, a family home, a favourite place in the town or a special memory along the Co. Louth 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.
