    Hiking

    The highest point in Cornwall and a UK designated Marilyn. I think the best way to go up Brown Willy is to do a loop and come in from the south to make a nice 8-mile (13 km) hike of it and include Rough Tor on the way back. Otherwise do it the shorter way from Rough Tor car park. A great little hill to do.

    Brown Willy at 420 m is the highest point in Cornwall. The rocky granite summit offers great views across Bodmin and over Rough Tor out to sea.
