It is a world-famous road lined by dark hedges, and made famous by the TV show 'Game of Thrones'.

It is believed the error was made by a contractor who had been doing work in the area.

The iconic trees have been used as a filming location in HBO's 'Game of Thrones', representing the King's Road.

It is reported that work began on Wednesday to remove the white lines.
