Hook-a-Gate is a village in Shropshire, England. It is located on the Shrewsbury to Longden road, just over the A5 Shrewsbury by-pass from Shrewsbury itself. Bayston Hill is nearby, though there is no direct vehicular road connecting the two villages, only a track. It was formerly a stop on the now defunct Shropshire and Montgomeryshire Railway. There is no longer a primary school but there is a Tuition Centre for Secondary children.
The Rea Brook flows through the village. The hamlet of Redhill adjoins the village, on the north side of the Rea Brook.
There are two public houses - the Mucky Duck (until 2010 it was the Cygnets) and the New Inn.[1]
