The commercial centre of Edgeley is Castle Street.
Alexandra Park is on the former site of Edgeley House and contains a bowling green, a children's play area and a tennis, basketball and football court. The Sykes' reservoir which originally served the bleaching works, backs onto the Park. The regeneration of the area has seen the mill lodge developed into a public space popular with anglers.
Edgeley is served by Stockport railway station (also known as "Stockport Edgeley" or "Edgeley") It was opened on 15 February 1843 by the Manchester and Birmingham Railway, following completion of the large railway viaduct just to its north.
