The Cliff Walk was designated a National Recreation Trail in 1975, the first in New England.
This unique 3.5-mile walk combines the stunning natural beauty of the Newport shoreline with its premier architectural history in the National Historic District. Guests will be delighted by the geology, wildflowers, and birds while walking from smooth paved pathways to rugged and rough terrain along the shore.
One minute visitors will be passing through manicured lawns on private property, and the next they'll be scrambling across sandy boulders or staring into a 70-foot drop.
The stunning views coupled with the mixture of history and nature make this a top attraction in Newport.
