An illustrated guide to driving the world’s most stunning road trips

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Remarkable Road Trips collects over 50 of the most spectacular, dangerous, and thoroughly memorable road trips from around the world.

Entries range from the shortest – the Guoilang Tunnel hewn into the side of a cliff face in China, to the longest, the Dempster Highway in desolate stretches of Arctic Canada. Some can be driven in a day or less, while others may take four or five days; the variety of landscapes, terrain, and even latitudes is huge. For the adrenaline rush, there is even the old NΓΌrburgring circuit in Germany.

Common to all of them is a gallery of stunning photographs, making them bucket-list destinations not just for petrolheads but also for those wishing to seek jaw-dropping scenery without packing hiking boots and a kagoule. They are all driveable, and the book includes distances and recommended stopping off points.

Remarkable Road Trips continues the format established in the bestselling β€˜Remarkable’ series, which combines spectacular photography of popular and niche sporting venues from around the world.

Routes include: Wild Atlantic Way (Ireland), North Coast 500 (Scotland), Cabot Trail (Canada), Nürburgring Nordschleife (Germany), Garden Route (South Africa), Blue Ridge Parkway (USA), Jebel Hafeet (United Arab Emirates), Transfăgărășan Road (Romania), Great Ocean Road (Victoria, Australia), Amalfi Coast Road (Italy), Milford Road (South Island, New Zealand), Hana Highway (Hawaii), Passage du Gois (France), Grossglockner High Alpine Road (Austria), Atlantic Road (Norway), Ring Road (more exciting than it sounds, Iceland), Icefields Parkway (Canada), Route 66: Arizona (USA).
