Brill is a compact village and civil parish in Buckinghamshire set on a prominent chalk ridge of the Chiltern Hills, giving it unusually wide views across the surrounding countryside. Its skyline is dominated by the restored brick tower windmill, a much‑photographed landmark, and the village sits near the route of the old light railway once known as the Brill Tramway, traces of which still interest walkers and railway enthusiasts.
The place has a long history - the parish contains the site of a medieval royal hunting lodge and the settlement’s streets reflect a mix of agricultural and estate origins. Today it combines a strong local community with a commuter element, being within reach of Aylesbury and Oxford, and retains village pubs, occasional local events and a steady trickle of visitors drawn by the scenery and local history.
