The gate is located partway up the track that is shown here: NS3679 : Access to Asker Farm and covered reservoir. The track on the other side of the gate leads towards and beyond Asker Farm, while the main uphill route leads to the waterworks.

The signpost gives (or rather gave — see below) a distance of 4 km to Cardross, and 3 km to Renton.

By 2022, the part of the sign pointing to the left (4km to Cardross) had gone, leaving no indication that the corresponding route, which leads past Asker Farm, is in fact a core path; the part pointing downhill (3km to Renton) was still present. In addition, some hand-written signs (large ones, later replaced by smaller ones) with red text had appeared on and near the gate: "Danger: Shooting", "Keep Gate Closed", and "Dogs on Lead: Livestock".

Needless to say, it is still a core path.
