Either I was going to Cambridge or he was going to Cambridge, but one cannot tell from the phrasing.

Oh, yes you can. Whom did I meet, a man, or a man on the way to Cambridge? If I were on the way, 'twould be, 'On the way to Cambridge, I met a man," wouldn't it?

I met a man on the way to Cambridge. (I was going to Cambridge.) I met a man who was on the way to Cambridge. (The man was on the way to Cambridge.)
