The Newport Cliff Walk is, along with the Newport mansions, among the most popular Newport RI attractions. Once you begin walking the path you'll understand why.

This National Recreation Trail, designated as such in 1975, runs for 3.5 miles along some of the most beautiful coastline in all of New England. Much of it goes through the property on which many of the Newport mansions are situated.

Newport Rhode Island was the summer playground of America's wealthiest families, including the Vanderbilts, the Astors and the Morgans. During the 19th Century, America's elite summered here, usually for only six weeks. Do you want to see how the rich spent their summers? Take a drive down Bellevue Avenue for some great drive by views or even stop in and sign up to tour one of these historic homes.
