Galway City Round 3D Wooden Map – Handcrafted Irish City Wall Art

Galway City · Gaillimh · Co. Galway, Ireland

A meaningful handmade gift for anyone with a connection to one of Ireland's most loved and vibrant cities.

Discover the unique charm and energy of Galway City with this beautifully handcrafted round wooden map. Sitting where the River Corrib rushes from Lough Corrib to Galway Bay, Galway is one of Europe's most celebrated and characterful small cities — a place of medieval lanes, colourful shopfronts, world class music sessions, outstanding food and a creative energy that draws artists, students, musicians and visitors from across the world. From the Latin Quarter and Shop Street to the Spanish Arch, the Long Walk and the famous Salthill promenade stretching along the bay, Galway combines a deep sense of history with a youthful, outward-looking spirit that is entirely its own. As European Capital of Culture 2020 and a city with one of the fastest growing and most dynamic economies in Ireland, Galway wears its success lightly and its warmth without effort.

This handcrafted 3D wooden map captures Galway City's river, streets, bay and surrounding landscape in layered detail — made by hand in our Sligo studio from sustainable materials.

Perfect for:

• Students and graduates of NUIG and GMIT with fond and lasting memories of their years in the City of the Tribes
• Music lovers drawn to Galway's legendary traditional music scene and its world famous arts and culture festivals
• Food enthusiasts who know Galway's Saturday market, its oyster festival and its outstanding restaurant scene
• Anyone with a connection to Galway City, whether you grew up there, studied there, moved away, or simply love this brilliant city on the edge of the west

Make it personal:

Add a brass pin to mark a favourite spot — the Spanish Arch, the Long Walk, a favourite pub, a family home, a college or a special place in the City of the Tribes — 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.
