Burton Mill Pond is a beautiful place to visit. It is an atmospheric hammer pond and holding pond in the South Downs National Park, near Petworth, West Sussex. The pond is part of the Burton Mill and Chingford Ponds Local Nature Reserve (LNR) and the Burton Park Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), which are nationally important for their wetland habitats, rare plants, birdlife, and invertebrate populations.

The current mill building dates from around 1780, although mills and forges have been exploiting the Downs spring water for at least 800 years.
The mill's historic water-powered milling machine has been restored to working condition.
Burton Mill is open to visitors on the Sunday of the National Mills Weekend in May and the National Heritage Weekend in September.

Burton Mill Pond is part of the Burton Mill and Chingford Ponds Local Nature Reserve (LNR). Enjoy the moment of calm as you pedal along the road skirting its north eastern shore. The pond was created in the late 16th century to power a forge. In the late 18th century the pond was part of a water mill for grinding corn. The large house by the road is the old mill.
