Brown Willy, the highest point in Cornwall, England, stands tall at 1,378 feet above sea level on Bodmin Moor. Its name might come from "hill of swallows" or "highest hill" in Cornish. The hill is popular among hikers and even has a New Year's Day race starting from Jamaica Inn. Brown Willy is known for the Brown Willy effect, causing heavy rainfall downwind. Despite its lack of prehistoric settlements, it remains a sacred mountain for some and a quirky spot for a comedy film.
