From the Wikipedia article
Brown Willy (possibly from Cornish Bronn Wennili meaning "hill of swallows" or from Cornish Bronn Ewhella meaning "highest hill") is a hill in Cornwall, United Kingdom. The summit, at 1,378 feet (420 metres) above sea level, is the highest point of Bodmin Moor and of Cornwall as a whole. It is about 2+1⁄2 miles (4 kilometres) northwest of Bolventor and 4 miles (6 kilometres) southeast of Camelford. The hill has a variable appearance that depends on the vantage point from which it is seen. It bears the conical appearance of a sugarloaf from the north but widens into a long multi-peaked crest from closer range.
