The historic Buckinghamshire village of Brill is home to a fine example of a 17th Century post mill. The mill retains much of the original machinery, although it is not in working order. It is open to the public on Sundays during the summer. Set at the edge of Brill common, the windmill affords magnificent views of the surrounding countryside. The surrounding land has been shaped by centuries of clay workings which provided raw material for the local brick making and pottery industries. Now disused and grassed-over, the hillocks and dips are a favourite of picnickers, kite flyers and mountain bikers.
