Located on the Doctors Gate path between Mossy Lea and Bleaklow.
Two theories relate to the existence of Doctors Gate. One, is this ancient trackway was built by the Romans to link the forts of Ardotalia in Glossop with Navio at Brough in the Hope Valley. The second theory is that during the Medieval period Doctor John Talbot who became vicar of Glossop in 1491 had the trackway built to link the Talbot family seat in Sheffield to Glossop. Hence the name Doctors Gate - gate meaning road or trackway. Imagine yourself as a Roman legionnaire or a Medieval trader walking this high, exposed route on your way to Sheffield or the Hope Valley.
