Great January walk from the Rough Tor car park over Showery Tor and Rough Tor. Apart from boggy ground leaving the car park was hard frozen ground which gave good going. Any icy patches were few and far bebeween. | KevPalmer | 16/01/2024 |

Out and back from Rough Tor car park to end of Brown Willy summit ridge, scrambling up Showery Tor, BW, Rough Tor and Little Rough Tor en route. Bracken high in places and appeared to be prime tick country, caught a couple of the buggers before they could bite! Great views and decent rocky summits with easy terrain in between. | southern_rambler | 18/06/2023 |

Drove to the usual carpark at SX 138 818 then walked to Rough Tor, Little Rough Tor and Showery Tor. From there we followed the permissive path to Brown Willy Trig and cairn. Same route in reverse for the return walk. Dry day, cloudy at first then brightened, hazy views. Approx 5 miles with 793ft of ascent. Walked with Lindsey. | Skip | 24/11/2021 |

Walked to the summits of Brown Willy and Rough Tor with my cousin. A great sunny day with a mix of large rocks to climb at the top of Rough Tor and Showery Tor. A great and fun top to do Cornwall is. | DavidHiner | 25/08/2021 |

With the kids. Could see the sea on both sides or Cornwall from the top. Windy but good day avoiding the showers. | SlowOl | 31/07/2021 |
We followed a route from a book which maybe wasn't ideal. From Rough Tor car park, up to Showery Tor, down past the long house and over to the corner of the fence and followed a stone bank. Then we had to climb over a barbed wire fence which was not mentioned in the book! Up to Maiden Tor, then Brown Willy. Back via Little Rough Tor and Rough Tor. With Keith, Ross (5) and Callum (3). | islamidget | 29/07/2021 |

On way to Cornwall with J. Glorious day & plenty of folk on the hill. From the FC car park to NW. Over the various tops of Rough Tor noticing two strange small model buildings in sheltered spots a few metres to W below the summit of Showery Tor. Ponies as far as the eye could see! Then followed the faint path down to the De Lank River & up to Brown Willy for a superb view. Retraced steps. | NotReallyABagger | 26/09/2020 |

Climbed solo. Excellent weather. Dry, mostly sunny with some haze and cloud. Start from Poldue Downs car park. Climbed over Showery Tor. Descend to De Lank River (pathless). Over Maiden Tor to gain north ridge of Brown Willy, and climbed to summit. Kernow's highest point boasts an excellent cairn and viewpoint. Visited south top as well. Returned along good path to De Lank River, before making a direct (but easy) ascent of Little Rough Tor. A short ridge walk south leads to the main summit of Rough Tor, where a little scrambling on boulders is required. Returned to car park at Poldue Downs (slightly rough at first, then easy grassy path). Excellent walk of about 3 hours through some surprisingly good hill country. | jamessteel100 | 15/08/2020 |

From free Rough Tor car park to the NW. Showery Tor (385m), Little Rough Tor (390m) and Rough Tor (400m). Then a nice walk across to Brown Willy. Pleasant and easy. Showery Tor was the most difficult to climb. With Clare, Eire, Evan, Sail, Danu, Coel & Alfie. Had a pint in The Jamaica Inn afterwards. | Dangerous Dave | 05/08/2019 |

3rd visit. With L and a Darren on a nice gentle logical round of 6 Tumps from the west. In 2012 a campaign was launched to change the unusual comical name to a more respectable original Bronn Wennili. However, apparently locals like it as it is and the Daily Telegraph inevitably called for change campaigners to 'Keep their hands off Brown Willy' | Chris Pearson | 21/08/2018 |

An excellent walk from the road end near Camperdown Farm. Room for one car amongst the ponies. Easy track, so you can admire the views of Rough Tor and Brown Willy as you stroll along, then a good easy path follows the wall around the plantations and field systems. There's a handy bridge over the De Lank river. Sadly, it has to join the nasty boggy motorway coming from Poldue and heading to the top, but the views are great all the way. | Gill | 25/01/2018 |

Raining, blowing a full gale and zero visibility - until I was halfway back to the car - when out came the sun. I failed to find the letterbox (it is marked on the OS map). Watched crows playing with the wind... fly low along the windward foot of a crag, pull up and updraft shoots you 50ft vertically, make a lot of happy crow noises, repeat (for about 20 minutes) | M3WDD | 28/06/2015 |
Solo walk from Camelford, via Showery Tor and Roughtor. Cloud lifted to reveal long views. Two very impressive Bronze Age cairns on the summit ridge. From here visited three brilliant stone circles (Fernacre, Louden Hill and Stannon) on the way back to Camelford. | thesweetcheat | 19/06/2015 |

Started at New Park Farm 171837. Followed bridleway SW past Oldpark to the moorland which was short dry crunchy grass when we visited. Headed direct to summit and then on to Rough Tor. Returned via the SE edge of Rough Tor plantation which has gates through the fences, so Mrs Mindlessflogger was happy. Saw a few lizards but the moors seem over grazed to me and lack the roughness of the Pennine moors. | mindlessflogger | 09/04/2015 |
First trip up Brown Willy, straight run from Tolborough Tor starting from the Jamaica Inn. Peaked and added our rock to the top of the cairn. Great views. | Scooby Dhub | 14/02/2015 |

MY first accent done in the company of good friend and neighbour Liz and her dog Fizzy. 
Plus a H4H Bear for a photo call. 
Approaching 60 I've set my self a 'Bucket List' to grab a few high points before I'm too old. 
I also subscribe to the geograph photo web site and submitted a couple of photos. 
Finally grabbed a couple of Geocaches en-route. 
I started doing this with my Grandchildren and got hooked. 
All told a great day. | Anthony Vosper | 11/07/2014 |

After some wet days, today the weather was brighter. Parked at Forestry Commission Roughtor CP, headed south over Showery Tor, Little Rough and Rough Tors, revealing Brown Willey, 420m, ahead. With Sue Berry and faithful dog, Ben. A great day out with fascinating rock features. | Dartmoorman | 08/04/2014 |

really bad weather did not put us off, awesome day especially finding prayer flags on the top! | Mypoorblisters | 15/08/2013 |
Very good free CP to NW. Over Rough Tor first, ascending Brown Willy on good path from NW. Maybe not as impressive a top as Rough Tor, but quieter (as further for folks to walk from car park). Excellent views. Didn't find the letterbox, but didn't try very hard either. Continued south over Brownwilly Downs on good path to bag Butter's Tor. 
PS Highly recommend the Bettle & Chisel pub at Delabole - very good value B&B, good beer and friendly staff. | Hillsidenick | 12/08/2013 |

Revisit. Nice summit albeit outclassed by Rough Tor which I'd been to in 2002. This time took track from W: signs are progressively GOMLy. CROW access doesn't seem to have penetrated this far: SSSI: permissive path which seems to come via Rough Tor and is doubtless more scenic, although I followed path back to main track W. Early Sun a.m. no-one about, aother than a couple of other runners on the hill. | RHW | 16/09/2007 |
Lovely view point. Delightful stroll fron Rough Tor NT car park. | dal | 23/08/2007 |
