Doctor's Gate

Doctor's Gate is a Roman road in the Derbyshire Peak District, England, which ran between Melandra fort at Glossop and Navio fort at Brough-on-Noe [1]. The road was recorded in 1627 as "Docto Talbotes Gate," named after Dr John Talbot who improved the summit section in the late 15th century [1]. The term "gate" derives from the Scandinavian word for road [1].
