Map of the UK

West Chiltington is a small rural village in the district of Horsham, West Sussex, England, set amid rolling downland and farmland close to the South Downs National Park and the Arun Valley. The village retains a picturesque feel with a historic core of flint and timber cottages, lanes and a parish church, while lanes and hedgerows open out to mixed arable and pasture countryside.

Historically agricultural - with hop growing and, more recently, some vineyards nearby - the local economy now combines farming with small businesses and a commuting population who travel to Gatwick or London. Community life centres on village halls, clubs and a couple of long-standing pubs, making it a quiet but sociable place that balances heritage with the demands of modern rural living.
