Mill Lane, Halnaker view northeastwards
Mill Lane to the northeast of the village of Halnaker follows the route of the old Roman Road, Stane Street at this point. With its tunnel-like overarching canopy of trees it is a particularly attractive walk, especially with the Autumn colours beginning to show. Its beauty is well known, as there were numerous photographers about trying to take a particularly good photo of the scene.
Mill Lane is so called because after a while it diverges from Stane Street, heading north to Halnaker Windmill atop nearby Halnaker Hill.

Stane Street

Stane Street is the modern name given to an important 90-kilometre-long Roman road that linked London to the Roman town of Noviomagus Reginorum, or Regnentium, later renamed Chichester by the Saxons.
Today the Roman road is easily traceable on modern maps. Much of the route is followed by the A3, A24, A29 and A285, although most of the course through the modern county of Surrey has either been completely abandoned or is followed only by bridlepaths.
