No gate here ! Because it's for drivers ! a cattle grid for the drivers . Drivers treated better than people on bikes or in wheelchairs. Compare all the other transitions which have gates which are hard to open and close along this route.
Park Village on NCN68. Why so many superfluous gates on this route ?

Terrible provision on NCN routes 6 and 68 - a couple of signs, but nothing has been done about the barrier, and the only drop kerb is on the far side.
Slightly confusing - cyclists off the bridge rejoin the carriageway to the northeast, but also NCN routes 6 and 68 cross to the right to follow the river.
No Left Turn - there's actually a dropped kerb with cycle symbol immediately after the lights, which isn't very clever.

Very poor condition track barely cyclable. Good for mountain bikes, nothing else.
This is not a cycleway. It is dangerous coming down with a heavy bike, even walking. And pushing one up?
Whoever designated this a cycleway is an idiot.
Stupid cumbersome barrier that cannot be cycled with a trailer. This would be near impossible for a disabled person.
