West Chiltington is a village and civil parish in the district of Horsham, West Sussex, England, lying in the low-lying countryside of the Arun valley on the edge of the South Downs. The settlement retains a distinctly rural, historic feel with a medieval parish church, flint and timber-framed cottages and a conservation area that hints at its agricultural past.
Traditionally centred on hops and fruit growing, the local economy now mixes small-scale agriculture (including vineyards), local trades and commuter households travelling to nearby towns such as Horsham, Chichester and Worthing (with the nearest railhead at Pulborough). Community life is lively for a village of its size, focused on the village hall, pubs and sports clubs and a programme of seasonal events.
