The city of Newport was built long before the automobile and begs to be walked to fully appreciate its historic nature. Take an hour and walk through the neighborhoods of Historic Hill or The Point. The Cliff Walk also offers visitors a 3-mile stretch of coastline walkway on the cliffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and Newport's mansions. Whatever your choice, walking is a much easier and more fulfilling way to take in Newport with its narrow streets and colonial charm. And if you really want to experience Newport, take to the air in a plane or helicopter at Newport State Airport for the views of a lifetime!

Newport's most famous walk, and with good reason. Our favorite time of year to go is in mid to late fall, when the still-warm ocean breezes feel great on a chilly day. The first half is mainly paved with occasional rocks and steps and offers breathtaking unobstructed views of some of Newport's mansions. The brave can venture further onto rocks and dirt paths past more mansions like Doris Duke's Rough Point and end up at Ledge Road or Bailey's Beach.
