Fanad Head Round 3D Wooden Map – Handcrafted Irish Coastal Wall Art

Fanad Head · Fánaid · Co. Donegal, Ireland

A meaningful handmade gift for anyone with a connection to this dramatic and breathtakingly beautiful peninsula on the north Donegal coast.

Discover the wild beauty of Fanad Head with this beautifully handcrafted round wooden map. Jutting out into the Atlantic between Lough Swilly and Mulroy Bay on the north Donegal coast, the Fanad Peninsula is one of the most scenically spectacular and least visited corners of Ireland. At its tip, the iconic Fanad Head Lighthouse — voted one of the most beautiful lighthouses in the world — stands guard above cliffs of extraordinary drama, its beam sweeping out across the North Atlantic toward Scotland and beyond. The peninsula's eastern shore traces the length of Lough Swilly — the Lake of Shadows — one of Ireland's great sea loughs, while its western shore faces the sheltered waters of Mulroy Bay, and its interior is a landscape of bog, lake, mountain and the kind of profound quiet that feels increasingly rare. This is Donegal at its most elemental and most beautiful.

This handcrafted 3D wooden map captures Fanad Head, Lough Swilly, Mulroy Bay and the surrounding Donegal landscape in layered detail — made by hand in our Sligo studio from sustainable materials.

Perfect for:

• Lighthouse lovers and coastal photographers drawn to Fanad Head Lighthouse and its extraordinary clifftop setting
• Walkers and wild swimmers exploring the remote beaches, headlands and coastal paths of the Fanad Peninsula
• Sailors and boaters who know the waters of Lough Swilly and Mulroy Bay intimately
• Anyone with a connection to Fanad Head, whether you grew up on the peninsula, holiday there each year, or simply love this stunning and unspoiled corner of Donegal

Make it personal:

Add a brass pin to mark a favourite spot — the lighthouse, a favourite beach, Lough Swilly, a family home or a special place on the Fanad Peninsula — 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.
