What is a "wicket gate"?
A wicket gate is a small door or gate, often built into a larger gate or fence, allowing for individual passage without opening the larger gate. It is typically used for pedestrian access in places like gardens, parks, or large estates. Wicket gates are commonly found in areas where it is impractical to open a large gate for a single person. They are often made of wood or metal and may have a simple design, providing a more convenient and secure way to pass through a boundary or enclosure.
