What makes this road special

Snaking along the intricate, sunken valleys of the Marlborough Sounds, this short but intense road connects Picton to Havelock. It is famously relentless, throwing hundreds of tight, blind corners at the driver under a thick canopy of native ferns. While not a high-speed route, it is a brilliantly technical, steering-heavy drive with brilliant turquoise water views.
