Audley Rural is a largely rural civil parish in the borough of Newcastle-under-Lyme, in Staffordshire, England. It comprises a cluster of villages and hamlets set amid farmland and small woodlands, with a network of footpaths and lanes that link communities and give easy access to the surrounding North Staffordshire countryside and nearby urban centres.
The area has a mixed economic and social fabric: traditional agriculture sits alongside former mining and industrial influences from the wider Stoke-on-Trent region, and many residents commute to nearby towns for work. Locally there’s a sense of community around village halls, churches and pubs, and the parish’s history is visible in its built environment and landscape, where remnants of industrial pasts meet active farming and modern housing.
