A guide to the West Country from the people that know…

Brown Willy

Cornwall's highest summit (420m), affords views across the wild expanse of Bodmin Moor. On a good day, you can see across the county from Tintagel in the north to Fowey in the south. Drive north east of Camelford on the A39 Bude road, take the minor road to Tregoodwell and continue to the car park at the end of Roughtor Road. Bring a picnic or head to the infamous Jamaica Inn, now home to Daphne du Maurier memorabilia and a museum of smuggling.

This is a great walk to the highest peak in Cornwall, ensure you check the weather forecast before you set off as low-lying fog can cause a problem in bad weather. This is an enjoyable walk with history, geology and culture around you.
