Chop Gate

Chop Gate (/ˌtʃɒp ˈjæt/ CHOP YAT) is a small village in the North York Moors national park, North Yorkshire, England. Historically part of the North Riding of Yorkshire, the village is situated 7.5 miles (12 km) south east of Stokesley and 12.5 miles (20 km) north of Helmsley.

From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the district of Hambleton, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council.

The village is at the point where the roads to Bilsdale and Raindale meet. Chop Gate is on the B1257 road between Helmsley and Stokesley.

Chop Gate's name probably comes from the Old Norse word 'koppr' meaning 'hill' and 'gata' which means 'road'.
