Day 12 of your road trip in England is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Manchester before saying goodbye to this wonderful destination. If you've still got time left, we recommend doing some last-minute shopping or sightseeing.

One of the best things to do on your last day is to explore Northern Quarter, a neighborhood that captures the true essence of Manchester. Take your time to uncover its best sides and enjoy its proximity to many of the area’s best attractions.

On your last day in England, take time to indulge in shopping at Manchester’s popular marketplace, Manchester Arndale. Look for keepsakes or souvenirs to remind you of your trip.

Before you conclude your road trip in England, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Manchester.

Have a fantastic dining experience at Browns Manchester, a highly recommended choice for tonight's dinner. If you're looking to mix things up, Bill's Spinningfields Restaurant offers an enticing alternative with its varied menu.

You’ll then say farewell to Manchester. Drive to the airport, return your car, and take the opportunity to get some last-minute souvenirs before you board your flight home. We wish you a pleasant journey and hope you leave with many wonderful memories of your road trip in England!
