Audlem has a medical practice, chemist, primary school, play group, three public houses and a range of shops. It is also the location of 15 locks on the Shropshire Union Canal.

In a county considered as prosperous as Cheshire, a village as well serviced as Audlem may become complacent about the services & facilities it provides but it has demonstrated that it certainly doesn't take its facilities for granted.
