The Harrow Way, also called the Old Way, is an ancient trackway in southern England dated by archaeological finds to 600–450 BC, though likely in existence since the Stone Age [1]. This route stretched from Seaton in Devon to Dover in Kent [1]. In the 19th century, the eastern section was renamed the Pilgrims' Way, a route supposedly from Winchester to Canterbury, but this was actually an invention of Albert Way of the Ordnance Survey with no supporting evidence [1].
