Going from recollections of the book, and I don't think this is a spoiler as it's describing a long established place, The Vale is on the other side of that gate, but there's like a 1/2 mile high ascent along a thin treacherous lane and special dispensation is necessary to make the trip. And that route is the only way to get there. It's why they're so insular and sheltered.
Kind of like a mountain version of The Wall on steroids standing between the lowlands and the Vale.
