Description EN

Brown Willy ridge is the highest point in Cornwall, it`s trigpoint is 420 metres above sea level.
There are many ways to approach the hill, but the suggested route is from Jamaica Inn (Bolventor) just off the A30.
Park in a lay-by on a small lane at N50`33.810 W004`34.043. Climb the stile a few metres to the west & follow the path down to the farm, then up the gated lane leading up onto Tolborough Tor. Continue to a gate at N50`34.471 W004`35.037, then follow the fence line north west. After 1.8Km you reach a gate at N50`35.342 W004`35.541, then head west up onto the ridge.

Other possibilities are to go via Roughtor, parking at N50`36.420 W004`37.965 (drive from Davidstow).
Or park at Emblance Downs, east of St. Breward - N50`33.650 W004`38.438, then walk via Garrow Tor & Butter`s Tor. Or park at Bowithick Ford - N50`36.916 W004`34.142, then walk south west via Buttern Hill. Please consult Ordnance Survey map "Explorer 109" & go prepared for a long walk over exposed moorland.

You are looking for a 1 litre plastic box. There is no clue, but I have posted a spoiler photo. Enjoy your walk.

Had a really good walk out to Brown Willy from Roughtor with my wife and two sons. This was the first time for them to Cornwalls highest point. I would of liked to have walked on to Garrow tor but I think this may have been to much for them, so that one will have to wait until another day.

Stunning views as you would expect. TFTC.

Here at last! It's been a long walk up from Candra, and will be a long walk back, into a ferociously strong wind, but it was worth it.

When I set out from London yesterday morning I had four specific caches that I wanted to visit - these were my "primary targets" and the others I would do on the way and on the way back, even though they were good caches in their own right, were almost incidental. Brown Willy was the third of those primary targets to be crossed off the list.

I was very thankful I had printed off the spoiler before leaving home; I think this one would have been difficult without it and I would have hated to register a DNF on this particular cache.

A great cache, thanks.

Rgds, Andy
