Halnaker Windmill (/ˈhænəkər/ HAN-ə-kər)[1] is a tower mill which stands on Halnaker Hill, north-east of Chichester, Sussex, England. The mill is reached by a public footpath from the north end of Halnaker, where a track follows the line of Stane Street before turning west to the hilltop. There is no longer any machinery in the brick tower.[2]
