Cratloe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cratloe (Irish: An Chreatlach) is a small village (its population in 2002 was 656) in County Clare, Republic of Ireland, situated between Limerick City and Ennis in the midwest of Ireland. The Cratloe Woods, located on the overlooking hillside, are a popular recreational park and forestry area. Garranon Oak Wood, near Cratloe Church, provided the timbers for the roof of London's Westminster Hall and the Royal Palace in Amsterdam.
Cratloe is located just off the N18 road from Limerick to Ennis. The railway line from Limerick to Ennis also passes by the village – although the station remains closed at present.
