I don't pretend to be a know it all, there are two towers in the Red Hill vicinity (that I am aware of), one actually on Red Hill, on the North east side of the hill, facing Sandwich, and another much lower, one could consider "on Red Hill", it is a few hundred feet off Rt 25 across from Fox Hollow, it faces towards the lake.

When the first one above went up (Crown Castle), it made a big improvement in Sandwich and Holland Street. Spotty improvements in Tamworth. When you get up into the higher frequencies that cellular is, it doesn't go all that far and provide continuous coverage.

When you go VHF, both sites would be a kicker. On my site, with 100W VHF, I could hit Manchester and hear a 5W portable key up, as an example.
