Along the Harrow Way Traditional Cache

The Harrow Way track provides an excellent walk on the outskirts of the town. Its history goes way back to the Bronze Age - and while there is a residential road called Harrow Way the original road was much longer. You will walk down a tree lined track to find the cache.
The Harrow or Tin Way can be traced from Kent to Cornwall and was used in the Bronze Age when tin was brought to make bronze, but it is believed to date back to Neolithic times, making it probably the oldest road in England. Primarily a trading route, later sheep were driven along it and pilgrims used it to get to Canterbury to visit the remains of the martyred Thomas Becket. At Andover the Harrow Way crosses two Roman Roads and the River Anton, enabling the town to develop.
