The hill is characterized by its gently sloping sides, covered in a patchwork of lush greenery and heather. The terrain is primarily composed of grassy slopes, dotted with scattered rocks and boulders that add to its rugged charm.

Talla Cleuch Head A view along the crest of the hill from Codleteth Hill towards the lumpy bulk of Talla Cleuch Head, with a fairly new deer fence (presumably to protect new tree plantings below) on the left. The diagonal bars across the fence are to make it more visible to birds, reducing their chances of flying into the fence.
