The Hogwarts grounds are surrounded by a fence, according to the 
sketch map drawn by Rowling which was displayed in the WB museum. 
There are gates through which the road from the station travels, but 
presumably there are gates in other places around the perimeter. It 
is logical to assume that Hagrid's duties as groundskeeper include a 
daily traverse of the perimeter fence, making sure that all gates 
are secure.
