Situated near the coastal town of Eyemouth, Cribbs Law stands at an elevation of approximately 275 meters (902 feet) above sea level. The hill is part of the Lammermuir Hills range, which stretches across the border between Scotland and England.

Cribbs Law offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, including the picturesque Berwickshire coast and the North Sea. The hill is characterized by its gentle slopes covered with a variety of vegetation, including grasses, heather, and scattered shrubs. Its landscape is often dotted with grazing sheep, adding to the idyllic rural scenery.

Access to Cribbs Law is relatively easy, with various footpaths and trails available for visitors to explore. Hiking enthusiasts can enjoy a leisurely ascent to the summit, which provides a rewarding vantage point to appreciate the natural beauty of the area.
