Brill Windmill is such a fun place to take children, they love the sheer size of it sitting atop of Brill Common, and enjoy running up and down the undulating landscape, jumping from hill to hill, playing hide and seek and tearing through the long grass. My three love tumbling down the hill in hysterics, their feet going faster than their bodies can keep up with!
Visit in the glorious sunshine and find children laughing and chasing each other, people enjoying picnics, others relaxing in the pub garden taking in the windmill views and a few walking the Bernwood Jubilee Way. To find the start of the trail head down the hill with the windmill as your back and look for the sign on the corner of a cottage on a gravel path. Follow for countryside heaven! Lush green fields full of ewes and their lambs, streams, frogs and breath-taking views. The whole Bernwood Jubilee Way is 61 miles but maps on the website show how it can easily be split into manageable chunks.
This is a really lovely day out and can be a big adventure or a little explore – whatever you want it to be. We’ve been in all seasons and each one offers it’s own excitement but our favourite is the view of the windmill on a wonderfully sunny day. Totally free and absolutely enjoyable.
Team with a visit to the unbelievably exciting (and new!) Brill Playground, only a short walk from here.
