Our fields aren't fenced so we don't have that many gates. This is a barrier for when the river floods, but it's close enough.

This is often the nearest we get to a gate here:
Even if you don't speak German, this sign makes it very clear that no-one, absolutely no-one is to pass this point. The reason is forestry work taking place in this area, and the text spells out very clearly the risks of ignoring the sign, generally implying that it would be certain death, and your own fault.
One one problem, I've just come past the sign from behind, having cycled through the Arboreal Death Zone blissfully unaware of the risks because there wasn't any sign in the other direction.
Thankfully, this was a Sunday; Germany goes to sleep on Sundays so there was no-one cutting anything.

Bypass gate for the cattle grid on Garth Hill (just after the 28% bit)

Absolutely brilliant gate on the Shoemakers' Arbor in the Dingle, Shrewsbury. Love the way they have incorporated a hammer and nails into the design.
The Arbor is 1679, but I think the date of the gate is 1879 (when it mas moved to the Dingle) or possibly later.
