Walk Description:

Halnaker Windmill from Boxgrove

Starting from Boxgrove Village Hall Car Park, this beautiful countryside walk takes us across open fields before joining the famous tree-lined lane leading towards Halnaker Windmill.

The old sunken lane, with its wonderful arch of trees overhead, is one of the highlights of the walk and makes the approach to the windmill particularly special.

There is a steady climb to reach the windmill, but we’ll take it at a pace that keeps the group together. Those wanting to work a little harder can make the most of the hills, while steadier walkers can take their time and enjoy the surroundings.

The fields can be damp, muddy and uneven, particularly after wet weather, so appropriate footwear is recommended.

Once at the top, we are rewarded with fantastic panoramic views across the surrounding countryside and towards the coast.

A lovely walk combining beautiful countryside, a bit of a climb, local history and some fabulous views.

Walking Levels Explained

Easy – Up to 2.5 to 3 mph 

Ideal for casual walkers who enjoy conversation along the way. These walks are mostly flat, and any hills will be tackled slowly and gently.

Moderate – 3 to 3.5 mph

A steady pace that may lead to slightly heavier breathing, particularly on inclines. Suitable for those looking for a bit more of a workout.

Challenging – 3.5 to 4 mph

Suited for experienced walkers who enjoy pushing their pace. These walks may include longer durations (2+ hours), steeper inclines/declines, or uneven terrain. Though challenging, there will be moments to catch your breath, usually on flat or downhill sections.

Note: We never leave anyone behind. The walk leader makes sure everyone is looked after.
