Halnaker Windmill, Grade II listed tower mill in Boxgrove, England.

The brick structure stands four stories high on Halnaker Hill, featuring an octagonal metal cap and remaining sweeps without internal machinery or floors.

Built in 1740 for the Duke of Richmond and Goodwood Estate, the mill operated until 1905 when lightning caused significant damage to its structure.

The mill represents traditional English grain processing methods, with the Watkins family operating it as the final millers from 1868 to 1905.

Visitors can reach the windmill through a moderate trail from Boxgrove village, following marked paths that include gates and a 300-foot elevation gain.

World War II bunkers lie 50 meters from the mill, where military personnel monitored aircraft radio transmissions across the South Coast.
