The Harrow Way (also spelled as Harroway) forms the western part of the Old Way, an ancient trackway in the south of England, dating from the Neolithic period, which can be traced from Rochester and the Channel ports in the Straits of Dover along the North Downs and through Guildford, Farnham, Andover and Basingstoke to Salisbury Plain and Stonehenge[1]
The Farnham section of the Harrow Way is believed to have run through (now) Farnham Park and continued its course along the chalk outcrop, crossing the Bagshot Road where the Six Bells pub now stands where it continued through Badshot Farm to the crest of the Hog's Back where the ancient trackway is known to have run, later forming part of the Pilgrims Way and now known as the North Downs Way.

In 1967 a new secondary school was opened in Andover, its name taken from The Harrow Way. The Harrow Way Community School celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2007.
