Brown Willy (from Cornish: Bron Wennyly meaning swallows' hill) is a hill in Cornwall, England. The summit is the highest point of Bodmin Moor and of Cornwall as a whole.
The name is sometimes suggested to come from bron ughella meaning "highest hill", as it is the highest point in Cornwall, but Weatherhill disagrees.
