In the north-east of England there is a fair military garrison on the A1 at Catterick, and has been since that time or before. Training runs from there would be due west up into the Yorkshire dales and that scene and bridge type would be fairly typical.
It was also common for convoys to drive up the A1 and A68 to get to the artillery ranges at Otterburn, just south of the border, and there are scenes like that along the way, particularly at places like Wooler.
