Brown Willy, the highest point in Cornwall  ADVENT (also known as St Adwen) is situated on Bodmin Moor just off the A39 about a mile south of Camelford. A little further onto the moor (less than 2 miles) to the west of Advent is Brown Willy, which is the highest point in Cornwall.  
  ALTARNUN (altar of St Non) is situated on Bodmin Moor just off the A30 between Launceston and Bodmin in the sheltered valley of Penpont Water. The parish church of St. Nonna is known as the "Cathedral of the Moors". St Nonna was the mother of St. David and left her native Wales around the year 527. Nearby in Trewint is Isbell Cottage, used by John Wesley during his preaching tours and now open to the public. A memorial to Digory & Elizabeth Isbell can be seen in the church.
