Harrow Way

The Harrow Way is another name for the "Old Way", an ancient trackway in the south of England, dated by archaeological finds to 600–450 BC, but probably in existence since the Stone Age [1]. The Old Way ran from Seaton in Devon to Dover [1]. The eastern part of the Harrow Way from Farnham, Surrey, later known as the Pilgrims' Way, runs on or parallel to the North Downs Way National trail [1]. The Harrow Way can be traced from Rochester and alternative Channel ports on the Straits of Dover [1]. In Dorset, the Harrow Way can be traced through the villages of Halstock and Corscombe, where it is known as Common Lane [1]. At the Halstock end, a short length was realigned to form the access for a Roman villa (which was built on the site of a late Iron Age farmstead) [1].
