Hook Head Round Wooden 3d Map - Handcrafted Irish Coastal Wall Art

Hook Head · Rinn Duáin · Co. Wexford, Ireland

A meaningful handmade gift for anyone with a connection to this iconic and historic peninsula on the southeast coast of Ireland.

Discover the drama and history of Hook Head with this beautifully handcrafted round wooden map. One of the most distinctive headlands in Ireland, the Hook Peninsula stretches south into the Celtic Sea between Waterford Harbour to the west and the open sea to the east, its narrow finger of land ending at Hook Head lighthouse — one of the oldest working lighthouses in the world, its tower standing watch over these waters for over 800 years. The map captures the full drama of the peninsula's setting — Waterford Harbour opening to the north with Dunmore East tucked into the western shore, the Hook Peninsula narrowing to its dramatic tip and the deep layered waters of the Celtic Sea sweeping around it on every side. This is a landscape of extraordinary historical depth and natural beauty, where the medieval and the maritime exist side by side in one of the least visited and most rewarding corners of the sunny southeast.

This handcrafted 3D wooden map captures Hook Head, the Hook Peninsula, Waterford Harbour and Dunmore East in layered detail — made by hand in our Sligo studio from sustainable materials.

Perfect for:

• History and heritage lovers drawn to Hook Head lighthouse and its extraordinary 800 year history as one of the world's oldest working lighthouses
• Sailors and sea anglers who know the waters off Hook Head and the strong tides of Waterford Harbour intimately
• Walkers and coastal explorers discovering the Hook Peninsula's dramatic coastline, beaches and medieval heritage
• Anyone with a connection to Hook Head, whether you grew up nearby, holiday on the peninsula, or simply love this historic and beautiful corner of Wexford

Make it personal: Add a brass pin to mark a favourite spot — the lighthouse, Dunmore East, Waterford Harbour, a family home or a special place along the Hook 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.
