Cratloe

Ireland

Cratloe sits just off the N18 between Limerick and Shannon Airport in County Clare, making it handy for both the city and the coast. The village is 15 kilometers from Limerick and 10 from Shannon Airport, with the motorway providing easy access along the main Cork-Galway route. Local roads wind through farmland toward the Shannon Estuary, where the river opens toward the Atlantic. The area's claim to fame is Cratloe Woods House, a restored 17th-century manor surrounded by ancient woodlands that once sheltered Irish chieftains, plus several championship golf courses nearby.
