The knoll in front of the point where these two boundaries meet is the summit of Setmurthy Common, a fell featured in Alfred Wainwright's Outlying Fells of Lakeland book. It's easily hiked from Cockermouth together with Watch Hill. Enter the woodland to a symphony of bird song.

Nice easy hill to do. I parked in Cockermouth and did the hike to the top of Watch Hill and back in 1.5 hours.
