Standing at an elevation of approximately 678 meters (2,224 feet), Craig Law offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes.

The hill is known for its distinctive pyramid-shaped peak, which is a result of its geological formation. It is composed of various types of rock, including sandstone and shale, which have been shaped by natural forces over thousands of years. The hill is also home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, with heather, grasses, and wildflowers covering its slopes, and birds and small mammals inhabiting its woodlands.
