Walk Description:

 

Join us for a beautiful countryside walk from Boxgrove to Halnaker Windmill, taking in one of the most photographed and picturesque paths in Sussex.

Starting from Boxgrove Village Hall car park, we’ll make our way across open fields before joining the famous tree-lined lane leading towards Halnaker Windmill. The beautiful archway of trees creates a wonderful setting as we make our way towards the hill.

The climb up to the windmill gives us a chance to get the heart and lungs working, with spectacular panoramic views across the surrounding countryside as our reward.

This is a great walk for enjoying a few hills and building your fitness, with opportunities for those who want an extra challenge to push themselves a little harder on the climb. We’ll make sure everyone stays together and has time to enjoy the scenery along the way.

The fields can be damp and uneven underfoot, particularly after rain, so please wear sturdy walking shoes or boots with good grip.

A wonderful combination of beautiful countryside, an iconic Sussex landmark, fresh air and friendly company.

 

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.
