Cliff Walk, Newport, Rhode Island, USA
The gorgeous Newport Cliff Walk is considered one of the top attractions in Newport, Rhode Island, in the United States.It is a 3.5-mile public access walkway that borders the shore line. It has been designated a National Recreation Trail.
The Cliff Walk runs 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.
It 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 3.5-mile (5.6 km) cliff walk is paved and it 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 it also has impressive views.
