Wincle Lane Higher Sutton
Macclesfield, England SK11 0NG
The Hanging Gate is an old Drovers pub, with a history of hospitality stretching over 400 years. Situated in Higher Sutton, on the outskirts of a village 3 miles east of Macclesfield, the second highest pub in Cheshire, the Hanging Gate enjoys spectacular views across the Cheshire Plain. Dating from 1621, this is a proper rustic pub with low ceilings and beams, original stone-flagged floors and open fires. On a Roman salt route and steeped in history, the Hanging Gate is believed to be named after a combination of the Scandinavian "gata", meaning pathway, and the fact that Royal Macclesfield Forest poachers were hanged nearby – rumour has it that they were held chained in the cellar until they met their fate. The Hanging Gate is a family run freehouse on the edge of the Gritstone trail and Macclesfield Forest – a haven for walkers, mountain bikers, horse riders and families alike. Muddy boots and dogs are welcome.
