Legendary Cliff Walk, a 3.5-mile path combining the natural beauty of Newport’s stunning coastline with the architectural history of the Gilded Age, is the most visited attraction in all of Rhode Island—and once you experience it, you’ll know why. Panoramic views of the ocean, waves crashing on the magnificent bluffs, century-old celebrated mansions—it’s no wonder visitors from around the globe, both casual walkers and avid trailblazers alike, place Cliff Walk at the top of their “must-do” list!
Mansions are synonymous with Newport and Bristol Counties. During the Gilded Age, America’s wealthiest families flocked to the City-by-the-Sea and its surrounding areas, including Bristol, making the area their summertime playground. Today, more than a dozen prestigious properties have been preserved by dedicated organizations committed to protecting our past for both you and generations to come.
