    Hiking

    In the vicinity of Halnaker Windmill are the remains of four
    WW2 military structures located around the hilltop (just
    one can be accessed by the public). These are the brickbuilt bases of (now gone) timber radio direction finder (RDF)
    towers and antennae. Wartime RAF personnel within these
    towers monitored and reported radio messages from aircraft
    travelling inland and towards the coast. It is understood that
    the antennae were on wooden platforms within the towers and
    could be revolved by a pedal-powered cog wheel.
