Red House is the name of junction 38 of the A1(M), where it meets the A638, 4 miles north of Doncaster and ¾ of a mile north of Woodlands, South Yorkshire, England. South of the junction, the A638 follows the route of the historic Great North Road to Doncaster. North of the junction the A1 (no longer motorway class) heads towards Barnsdale Bar and West Yorkshire.
The junction is named after the farm house that stands at the junction. Whilst this is made of red brick, it is also painted a deeper shade of red.
Red House is in the (historic) Barnsdale Forest area.

Famous quotes containing the words red and/or house:
“The Spirit of Place [does not] exert its full influence upon a newcomer until the old inhabitant is dead or absorbed. So America.... The moment the last nuclei of Red [Indian] life break up in America, then the white men will have to reckon with the full force of the demon of the continent.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Ah, yet, ere I descend to the grave,
May I a small house and large garden have;
And a few friends, and many books, both true,
Both wise, and both delightful too!
And since love ne’er will from me flee,
A mistress moderately fair,
And good as guardian angels are,
Only beloved and loving me.”
—Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)
