Halnaker windmill sits on top of Halnaker hill in the chalk grasslands of the South Downs to the North East of Chichester. The area around the mill is a Scheduled Ancient Monument due to Neolithic earthworks, the mill itself is a Grade 2 listed building. It would originally have been manually turned into the wind but a fantail was added later, this was not restored. The four common sails would have worked a pair of millstone to mill corn for flour.
Access is only possible on foot, a car can be parked at the end of Mill Lane, it's then a walk of around three quarters of a mile along the lane and up the hill. As the mill sits on a public footpath access to the outside is possible 24/7, it isn't currently possible to go inside.
