Local area
Set in beautiful rural Cheshire, the village of Audlem perfectly combines an unspoilt traditional feel with a thriving community. The village is situated on the Shropshire Union Canal where passing barges meander their way to the nearby 15 rising locks, designed by Thomas Telford.
The 13th Century St James’ Church stands right at the heart of the village and presides over the attractive streets still adorned with traditional wooden shop-fronts and flower displays. But while Audlem retains its picturesque village charm, there’s still an excellent range of shops, trades and local amenities at hand. Everything you’ll need from a pharmacy to the post-office and all just a short stroll from the development.
Audlem also has plenty of places to eat, drink and meet the friendly locals with a Café a Deli and three first-rate pubs in the village alone. A regular bus service makes it easy to explore the surrounding area which has a wealth of traditional country inns, gastropubs and fine restaurants – all located in pretty villages and beautiful rural settings. During the May Bank Holiday Audlem celebrates its own five-day festival of Music and Arts, with music for every taste, including exhibitions, poetry events and a traditional carnival on bank-holiday Monday.
