Guardian consider the "Atlanterhavsveien" in Norway as the best road trip;

Bridge over peaceful waters ... Atlantic Road in Norway.



1 - Norway
The Atlantic Road zigzags across 12 low bridges that jut out over the sea, linking the islands between Molde (famous for its annual Jazz festival in July) and Kristiansund in the western Fjords. The Hustadvika is an infamous stretch of ocean and in storm it's fantastically dramatic. In calmer weather you might spot whales and seals.

When you have done that, you are only about 300 miles from the North Cape.

You only need to be prepared for the a) Norwegian prices - £6 for a pint , b) the mosquitos - and c) the rain

The rest can be recommended.

Forget what you've been told about the mossies and the rain... see here for a glowing recommendation for Norway.

But did you see what was No. 2? My favorite road and if any members from mainland Britain come over hear i will drop everything to take you up it. Infact that is the raod i will be taking up to the North West 200 this Saturday! There are parts of it with nothing but a 100 ft drop between you and the sea and Scotland! Its really a single lane road, as if it was made just for bikes!

2nd place is not the same as 1st



On the other hand, I would give my left arm to try your road on my AT. Regretfully it can not accommodate wife and three kids, so it will probably be in my dreams only
