It has scenic viewpoints accessible from Lyle Road, which was constructed in 1879–1880 and named after Provost Abram Lyle, well known as a sugar refiner. The hill's highest point is Craigs Top at 426 feet (130 m) above sea level, and before the road was constructed the hill was known as the Craigs, or as the Bingens (with various spellings). Adjacent to the highest point of the road, a scenic viewpoint looks out over Gourock and the Firth of Clyde to Cowal in the west, and north over the Fort Matilda area of Greenock to Argyll across the Clyde. There are benches, information points, and a beacon which is lit on significant occasions. Car parking spaces give views to the west, and a short distance further down the road the Free French Memorial is in the shape of the Cross of Lorraine combined with an anchor. Across the road, steps and a rough path lead up to a viewpoint at Craigs Top with views up the River Clyde as far as Glasgow.

The lands of Finnart to the west of Greenock belonged to the Earl of Douglas in medieval times. Around 1455 they were forfeited to the crown. Finnart was given to the Hamiltons, while the western part of the barony of Finnart went to Stewart of Castlemilk and became the barony of Finnart-Stewart, or Gourock. Sir James Hamilton of Finnart inherited the barony and rose to high office, but was beheaded and his estates forfeited, with his Finnart lands going to Shaw of Sauchie and Greenock. These estates subsequently became the west end of Greenock. The northern part of the Finnart-Stewart estates forms the main part of modern Gourock, while the remainder now accommodates the housing estates of south-west Greenock.

Sir Gabriel Wood's Mariners' Asylum is a facility in Greenock, Scotland which opened 17 October. 1854. It was built to house and care for aged and impoverished seamen belonging to the counties of Renfrewshire (historic), Ayrshire, Dunbartonshire, Argyll, and County of Bute. Its founder, Sir Gabriel Wood (1767–1845), served as Vice-Consul for the state of Maryland and later as Commissary-General of Accounts for the Caribbean, then of the Mediterranean, and finally of Canada. He bequeathed his entire estate to his wife Louisa Augusta and his sister Francis Ann Wood. A memorandum instructed them to establish a home providing for the care of local destitute seamen. Sir Gabriel Wood's Mariners' Asylum was included in the 1861 United Kingdom census. At that time, there were forty-five former mariners and seamen residing there with ages ranging from 58 to 84 years old. The staff included the Governor of the Institution, Adam MacKay, a matron, a housekeeper, a laundress, and two servants. In November 2020, inspections by Care Inspectorate (Scotland) identified several deficiencies in the care being provided. The Trustees of the Sailors' Society who owned the facility decided to close the home. As reasons, they cited increased pressures resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic, and lack of resources to uphold the standards they set for the home. In March of 2022, the property was sold to Torah Capital Limited, a London company.
