The Sankey Canal, though no longer in commercial use, runs through the area and is a feature of the local landscape.

Education in Penketh is provided by several schools, including primary and secondary institutions. The local community is served by amenities such as shops, public houses, and recreational facilities. St. Joseph's Catholic Church and Holy Trinity Church are notable places of worship.
