Situated approximately 7 kilometers (4.3 miles) southeast of the town of Inverbervie, it offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and the North Sea.

The hill is characterized by its gentle slopes and grassy terrain, making it accessible to hikers of varying levels of experience. Its summit is marked by a trig point, which serves as a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a challenging yet rewarding climb. On a clear day, one can admire the breathtaking vistas of the nearby coastal cliffs, rolling farmland, and the quaint villages scattered across the landscape.

Ardlaw Hill is also known for its rich biodiversity. The area is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including various bird species, such as pheasants and skylarks, as well as small mammals like rabbits and foxes. The hillside is adorned with a mix of heather, gorse, and wildflowers, adding to its natural beauty and attracting nature lovers and photographers alike.

Due to its convenient location and relatively moderate ascent, Ardlaw Hill is a popular destination for both locals and tourists seeking outdoor activities.
