Audlem is a compact village in the unitary authority of Cheshire East, England, set near the county border and straddling the attractive ribbon of the Shropshire Union Canal. The canal gives the village its distinctive character - lock flights, towpaths and canal-side pubs make it a popular stopping point for boaters and walkers, and the village centre is a pleasant mix of timber-framed buildings, independent shops and cafés.
Historically rooted in the medieval period, Audlem now combines a rural economy of farming and local services with a small but steady tourism trade linked to the canal and local walking routes. Community life is lively for a village its size, with seasonal events, active village organisations and a strong sense of local identity that preserves its historic streetscape while serving residents and visitors alike.
