Chantry Mill is a 8.7-hectare (21-acre) geological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Storrington in West Sussex.[1][2] It is a Geological Conservation Review site.[3]

This site provides the best exposure of the junction between the Gault and Folkestone Beds of the Wealden Group, dating to around 140 million years ago in the Early Cretaceous.[4]

A public footpath runs along the south-western edge of the site.
