Brown Willy is a hill on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, England, and at 420 meters above sea level is the highest point of both the moor and the county. Its summit is capped with naturally occurring piles of granite boulders, typical of the tors that stud Bodmin Moor's granite moorland. Seen from the north the hill has the conical profile of a sugarloaf, while from closer range it widens into a long, multi-peaked crest; it lies about two and a half miles northwest of Bolventor and four miles southeast of Camelford.
