Tips for the tops:

Watch Hill (34A, LR89)

Ann Bowker: There is no right of way over the ridge on my map (Outdoor Leisure 4) although there is a good path. The 254m spot height just west of the wood edge at NY158318 has a tiny cairn, but there could be a higher spot about 100 metres further east amongst the trees and brambly undergrowth. A nice circuit starts from NY163329, where there is limited parking, and uses a permissive path southwards. Where this veers east, continue south to a hidden stile in the field corner (163319), giving access to a short steep path onto the two summit candidates and a slightly lower west top. Continue westwards on a pleasant grassy ridge until the forest finishes on the right, and return on the bridleway which forms part of the rarely walked Allerdale Ramble.
