The Cliff Walk is Newport's signature hike. On one side take in the stunning coastline and on the other you'll get a stellar view of many of Newport’s gilded age era mansions. Hike the full 3.5mile trail and you’ll see original Vanderbilt family mansions: Marble House, Rough Point, and Renaissance-style The Breakers among others. There are plenty of different entry and exit points for those not wanting to do the full trail. Terrain can get rough in patches and there are cliff drops not suitable for small children.
