Halnaker Windmill - a photo on Flickriver

Halnaker Windmill

            This iconic Sussex landmark, perched on Halnaker Hill and visible from a wide surrounding area, is well worth the climb to admire close up. The windmill is also a Grade 2 listed building. The wildflower-rich chalk grassland at the hilltop is a great spot to get away from it all and enjoy fine views of the coast across a patchwork of woods and farmland.

The top of Halnaker Hill is a Scheduled Ancient Monument as it is the location of a Neolithic earthwork structure known as a 'causewayed enclosure'. This scheduling includes the WW2 radio direction-finding structure.

The windmill has been recently restored with a new tile-hung façade and extensive repairs to the cap and balcony. The sails (known locally as sweeps) have also been restored and rehung. A new galvanised steel fence has been installed around the perimeter of the windmill. The windmill is closed to the public.

On the chalk grassland you may find some less common species of plant, such as Pyramidal Orchid and Common-spotted Orchid. Chalk downland is a rich habitat for insects and a food source for farmland birds, such as the Yellowhammer. Look out for Buzzards soaring over the landscape and Skylarks singing overhead.

Butterflies attracted to the flowers up here include the Marbled White, Common Blue, Large Skipper and Red Admiral. Along the lane, on the way up, keep an eye out for Silver-washed Fritillary, Large, Small and Green-veined Whites, Meadow Brown, Ringlet and Gatekeeper.
