Ruthergate

Ruthergate is an old road near Guisborough in Redcar and Cleveland, England, now disused. It leads southwards from Ruther Cross on Hutton Lane before winding up Kemplah Hill in a well-marked cutting. It is mentioned in early charters, sometimes as Rechergate, sometimes as Rogergate. It may have originally been created as an access road to a quarry on Highcliff.
