The Harcamlow Way is a waymarked walking route in England running in a figure-of-eight from Harlow to Cambridge and back again, hence its portmanteau name.

It was developed by Fred Matthews and Harry Bitten of the West Essex Ramblers' Association in the 1970s[3][4] and began to appear on Ordnance Survey maps.[when?]

The walk is mainly on tracks and green lanes, taking in the wide tracts of countryside in eastern Hertfordshire, western Essex and southern Cambridgeshire, mostly within what is now known as The Hundred Parishes and dropping into many villages on the way, passing many places of historic interest.

[2][3] The route then heads west out of Cambridge to Coton and beyond before going south again, through Kingston and the Wimpole Estate, parallel to Ermine Street.

It takes ancient Ashwell Street to Melbourn, then south across the Icknield Way back into Essex.
