Description

Brill Windmill is one of the oldest and best-preserved post mill windmills in the UK, dating back to 1686. This Grade II* listed building impresses with its unique design, where the main structure balances on a large vertical pole, allowing it to rotate in the direction of the wind.

The windmill offers stunning views of the Vale of Aylesbury, making it a photographer's paradise, especially during sunsets. The surrounding hills of Brill Common are ideal for kite flying and family picnics.

It's not just a monument, but a living history lesson about ancient grain milling techniques that fascinates children and adults alike.
