Carolyn:
But surely anyone can apparate, thestral, Knight Bus, carpet, broom, 
shanks pony or whatever to just outside the gates, and then walk up 
the drive ? For this reason I have never understood why Hermione/JKR 
bangs on so much about the no-apparate rule at Hogwarts. Its only a 
matter of a few hundred yards walk ... 

One has to hope that the gates and all the boundaries are thoroughly 
bewitched as well, but from the number of people wandering in and out 
it seems not (Crouch Sr, Sirius, Rita Skeeter to name but a few).
