The Hereward Way is a long-distance footpath in England that links the Viking Way at Oakham with the Peddars Way at Knettishall Heath, near Thetford.

Stations towards the centre of the path are located at Shippea Hill and Ely.

The footpath runs through Stamford, Peterborough, March, Ely and Brandon.

It links two other long-distance footpaths: the Viking Way in the west and Peddars Way in the east.

[2] The re-routing was complete with the Peterborough Local Access Forum and means that walkers do not pass alongside the A47.
