Grand Touring & Road Drives
Grand touring has never been solely about distance. It is about rhythm, landscape and the quiet satisfaction of a well-chosen road.
This section of the FTP Library brings together carefully selected guides that place the journey at the centre of the experience, from British countryside routes to Alpine passes, Atlantic coastlines and Mediterranean hill towns. These volumes are not simply travel manuals, but structured companions for those who believe that driving itself remains one of motoring’s greatest pleasures.
Whether exploring the roads of Great Britain, Ireland, France, Italy or Spain, the common thread is simple: thoughtful preparation enhances the drive. For those who value movement through scenery as much as arrival, the titles below offer practical guidance for touring with intention.
