Fab viewpoint. Unfortunately not open to view inside.

While the windmill is no longer working, it's very attractive from the outside. There are also fantastic 360 degree views from the top of the hill and a handy bench for a quick snack stop.

Hiking

This is a great place to visit at any time of the year, but is particularly special in the autumn. At the NE edge of the village, on the main road (A285), is a new small carpark. The path up to the windmill (Mill Lane track on OS maps) follows the old Roman Road, Stane Street. Beyond the cottages is the famous Halnaker Tree Tunnel. The sunken path has trees on both sides which look particularly fantastic on sunny, autumn days. There are great views in every direction when you get up to the windmill.
