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

Inishbofin · Inis Bó Finne · Co. Galway, Ireland

A meaningful handmade gift for anyone with a connection to this beautiful and unspoiled island off the Connemara coast.

Discover the timeless beauty of Inishbofin with this beautifully handcrafted round wooden map. Sitting twelve kilometres off the Connemara coast in the Atlantic Ocean, Inishbofin is one of Ireland's most beloved inhabited islands — a place of white sandy beaches, clear turquoise waters, wild flower meadows and the kind of unhurried island pace that feels increasingly rare in the modern world. Its small but thriving community, rich history — including a Cromwellian star fort guarding the harbour entrance — and extraordinary natural beauty draw visitors, artists, musicians and nature lovers throughout the summer months. The island's beaches, particularly the sheltered strand at the eastern harbour and the wilder beaches on the northern shore, are among the most beautiful in Connacht, and the waters around the island are rich in marine life, seabirds and grey seals.

This handcrafted 3D wooden map captures Inishbofin's coastline, harbour, beaches and surrounding Atlantic seascape in layered detail — made by hand in our Sligo studio from sustainable materials.

Perfect for:

• Cyclists and walkers who love exploring Inishbofin's quiet roads, beaches and coastal paths at island pace
• History lovers drawn to the Cromwellian star fort, the early Christian heritage and the remarkable story of this island community
• Wildlife lovers and birdwatchers drawn to the seabirds, grey seals and rich marine life of the waters around the island
• Anyone with a connection to Inishbofin, whether you holiday there each summer, make the ferry crossing from Cleggan, or simply love this magical corner of Connemara

Make it personal:

Add a brass pin to mark a favourite spot — the harbour, a favourite beach, the star fort, a family home or a special place on the island — 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.
