Humber Bridge, East Yorkshire.
Nerd fact: the small "dog-bones" and larger "dumbbells" attached to the cables are called Stockbridge Dampers and prevent the cables vibrating eg due to the wind. Transmission lines have similar "dog-bones" near to where they attach to pylons for the same purpose. So there's something to look out for on a long motorway journey.
