Why can’t I reach Redcliffe

dragon-age-inquisition

I'm in the first zone (Hinterlands) and my main quest is to go to Redcliffe, but I see a closed gate on the road to Redcliffe.

I read that I have to close the rift before the gate but this does not appear in my game.

What do I need to do?

Redcliffe is accessible later on as part of the main storyline. Siding with the mages gives you access to Redcliffe, though I'm not sure if the same occurs should you side with the templars.
