Cliff Walk

Cliff Walk

Cliff Walk, Newport, RI 02840

The legendary Newport Cliff Walk is a 3.5-mile public access walkway that borders the shore line and combines the natural beauty of Newport with the architectural history from the gilded age. The Cliff Walk starts from the east end of Bailey's Beach to the western end of First Beach. There are public access points at Bellevue Avenue, Ledge Road, Marine Avenue, Ruggles Avenue, Sheppard Avenue, Webster Street, and Narragansett Avenue. The trail runs behind many of Newport's famous gilded mansions, such as Astor's Beechwood, Rosecliff, Marble House, The Breakers, Ochre Court, and Rough Point, where a bridge is located over an open chasm. Most of the cliff walk is paved and offers beautiful vistas, tunnels, and long winding pathways. The latter half of the cliff walk has unpaved sections and paths along rugged New England rocky shoreline. This section is more of a challenge but has impressive views.

Tour the Newport Mansions

Tour the Newport Mansions

44 Ochre Point Avenue, Newport, RI 02840

The Newport Mansions were built in the Gilded Age by wealthy beneficiaries of the Industrial Revolution who constructed these "cottages" as summer homes.  The most famous cottage - The Breakers - was built in just two years (1893-1895) and cost what would have been the equivalent of about $150 million today. It has 70 rooms (33 of which are for the staff). Up until 2018, members of the Vanderbilt family could still use the third floor of the mansion as their private residence. The mansion was named 'The Breakers' after the waves that constantly crash into the cliffs below the property.  The Preservation Society of Newport County maintains the Mansions, and you can buy tickets to tour inside.
