Circular

This is an extended walk around the village of Brill.

The walk of course visits the beautiful windmill on the common in Brill, but then takes you back and on a walking loop through the village and then on a climb up Rid's hill for a pleasant walk through Chinkwell Woods before descending back to the village.

The climb is relatively strenuous, so go prepared with plenty of energy.

Lovely walk, but still really muddy and definitely a wellie walk at the moment (I had trainers on!)
