{{Main|Cratloe Woods}}
A state forest has been planted over a large portion of the Cratloe area, with mostly [[spruce]] and [[pine]] trees covering the 800 acre woodland. On the back road to [[Limerick]] that passes through the village, the ancient oak trees of [[Cratloe Woods#Garranon|Garranon Wood]] are still visible, and the forest has been historically dated to exist from at least 700 AD. The oak trees from this forest provided the timbers for the roofs of [[London]]'s [[Westminster Hall]] and the [[Royal Palace of Amsterdam|Royal Palace]] in [[Amsterdam]].<ref name="Cratloe Parish History">{{cite web | url=http://www.cratloe.org/NEWSITE/parishhistory.php | title=History of Cratloe Parish | publisher=cratloe.org | access-date=23 August 2012 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140407075810/http://www.cratloe.org/NEWSITE/parishhistory.php | archive-date=7 April 2014 | url-status=usurped }}</ref> [[St Mary's Cathedral, Limerick|St Mary's Cathedral]] in Limerick city was also built using Cratloe timber.{{citation needed|date=August 2020}}
