Cross Gate is situated at the end of a lane running up from the circular road around Burrator Reservoir just before Norsworthy Bridge and below Leather Tor. Nearby is Devonport Leat (in the foreground in the above photograph) and also a ruined cross which was restored in 1914. It is called Cross Gate Cross, however it probably originated elsewhere. The parish records of nearby Walkhampton mention a cross known as Leather Tor cross in 1750. No sign of this cross exists on Leather Tor so it is possible that this was the cross now situated at Cross Gate. It stands over 6ft tall but the head is missing.
