This section of road is a popular National Trust site that passes through some stunning beech woodland. The road is narrow with banks and trees either side and it's a long (just under a kilometre) winding, flowing, thoroughly enjoyable downhill from north to south. The name of the road is attributed to the colour of the leaves in autumn.

I realise I should have stopped to take a photo now... but I was enjoying the road too much!

I didn't see any lions, just a lot of squirrels.
