Self-Guided Walking Audio Tour of Cliff Walk Newport

4.2(5)3 hFree cancellationBy Gypsy Guide GPS LLC

About this activity

Download GuideAlong’s Cliff Walk audio tour to explore Newport, Rhode Island’s most iconic oceanfront trail, featuring glamorous Gilded Age mansions and stunning ocean views.

The 3.5-mile path takes about two or three hours, passing the most impressive 19th-century estates in America. These “summer cottages” of the Gilded Age elite tell stories of wealth, ambition, and personal drama.

The northern section of the Cliff Walk is smooth and accessible, while the southern portion - about the last ⅓ of the walk - is rocky and more dangerous. Good footwear is a must.
