Watch Hill is one of the Wainwright Outlying Fells (235m). A grassy and gradual approach from Cockermouth over fields full of curious sheep. The ground beyond the summit is rippled and undulates on to Sethmurthy Common.

Watch Hill is a lovely little hill to do from Cockermouth. I was up and back in less than an hour and a half. It is also a UK designated Marilyn. It has no summit cairn or marking.
