Lough Arrow Round Wooden 3d Map - Handcrafted Irish Lake Wall Art

Lough Arrow · Loch Aróhach · Co. Sligo, Ireland

A meaningful handmade gift for anyone with a connection to this beautiful and storied lake in the heart of County Sligo.

Discover the quiet beauty of Lough Arrow with this beautifully handcrafted round wooden map. Sitting in a natural basin between the Bricklieve Mountains to the west and the Curlew Mountains to the east in the heart of County Sligo, Lough Arrow is one of the most beautiful and historically significant lakes in the northwest of Ireland. The map captures the lake's extraordinary shape with remarkable precision — its deeply indented shoreline, scattered islands and the remarkable depth of its waters rendered in layer upon layer of bamboo, with Castlebaldwin to the northwest, Ballinafad at its southern tip and the quiet townland of Barroe to the east. The surrounding landscape is one of the richest archaeological areas in Ireland — the Carrowkeel Megalithic Cemetery on the Bricklieve Mountains above the lake is one of the most important and dramatic passage tomb complexes in the country, its cairns visible from the lakeshore on a clear day and dating back over 5,000 years.

This handcrafted 3D wooden map captures Lough Arrow, Castlebaldwin, Ballinafad and Barroe in layered detail — made by hand in our Sligo studio from sustainable materials.

Perfect for:

• Anglers and fishing enthusiasts who know Lough Arrow as one of Ireland's finest wild brown trout lakes and a fly fishing destination of international repute
• History and archaeology lovers drawn to the Carrowkeel Megalithic Cemetery and the extraordinary ancient heritage of the Bricklieve Mountains
• Walkers and nature lovers exploring the mountains, lakeshore and quiet countryside of this beautiful corner of Sligo
• Anyone with a connection to Lough Arrow, whether you grew up nearby, fish its waters each season, or simply love this magnificent and underappreciated lake in the heart of Sligo

Make it personal: Add a brass pin to mark a favourite spot — a fishing beat, a favourite shore, Castlebaldwin, Ballinafad, a family home or a special place along the lakeshore — 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.
