Audlem (/ʊərdləm/ ORD-ləm) is a village and civil parish located in Cheshire, North West England.

By the late 13th century, St James' Church had been founded and Edward I granted it a market charter in 1295.

The canal boosted the local economy by facilitating the transport of goods and materials, particularly agricultural produce and coal.

Though commercial activity on the canal virtually ceased in the 1950s, it is now an important source of tourism for the village.

The canal continues to draw visitors and leisure boaters alike along the waterway itself and to walk the picturesque path.

Audlem has clubs for tennis, badminton, football, cricket, golf, pigeon racing (or pigeon-fancying), caravanning, bell ringing and bowls.
