Lad Law at 518m is the trig pointed summit of Boulsworth Hill. It's the highest point in the South Pennines.
On a clear day you can see into the Lake District, across the Forest of Bowland and over the south Pennines.
The rock here is millstone grit like much of the Peak District. It outcrops in several places forming steep edges.
