• Forty Steps - The first major stop is the iconic Forty Steps. This serves as an alternative starting point for the tour and offers a wonderful chance to descend these historic steps and admire the wild beauty of the crashing waves. Learn about the Gilded Age elites who attempted to restrict access to the Cliff Walk by constructing a wall, and the lower-class residents who dismantled those walls! Thanks to their efforts, this stunning pathway remains open to the public.
• Ochre Court - Ochre Court will immediately capture attention! This châteauesque mansion cost $4.5 million in 1892, and it certainly shows! Now the centerpiece of Salve Regina University, this mansion isn’t open for tours, but that won’t stop the exploration of its rich and fascinating history!
• McAuley Hall - Next on the Cliff Walk tour is the manorial Vinland Estate. This Viking-inspired mansion is now Salve Regina’s McAuley Hall. As this beautiful red-stone mansion is passed, learn about its inspiration and its unique owner.
• The Breakers - Finally, reach Newport’s highlight: The Breakers. This Vanderbilt mansion is the largest and most impressive of all of Newport’s summer cottages, and it shows. Look past the gate, across the sweeping lawns, and up to the majestic and marvelous mansion’s facade. Dive into the Vanderbilt backstory, the mansion’s architectural wonders, and much more while here. Explore the technological marvels at work beneath the Breakers.
• Rosecliff - Rosecliff is next on the path along the Cliff Walk. This is arguably the most beautiful of the Newport Mansions, featuring a rotating exhibition gallery on its top floor. This mansion is easily recognizable by its pink-and-white awning.
• Gustave White Sotheby’s International Realty - As the journey continues, pass the Astors’ summer cottage: Beechwood. Mrs. Astor famously had a “300 List” - the definitive list of the 300 people she considered high society. Where did that number come from? Well, this ballroom actually! It fit 300 guests. Learn more about this list, the Astors, and the Gilded Age while continuing to walk down Newport’s Cliff Walk.
• Marble House - The journey now passes Marble House, one of the most opulent and magnificent of Newport’s Mansions. This Gilded Age marvel is another Vanderbilt home, with one of the most intriguing histories of all the mansions here. Learn all about Marble House’s powerful owner Alva and its beautiful Chinese Tea House.
• Rough Point Museum - As the Cliff Walk continues, catch a glimpse of an English Manorial style home through the trees: that’s Rough Point. As it is passed, learn all about its eccentric (and possibly dangerous) owner: Doris Duke.
• Lands End - Nearing the end of the Cliff Walk, see one final mansion: Land’s End. This was the home of Edith Wharton, the talented author who detested being a Gilded Age elite. Learn all about Wharton and her works as the journey continues.
• Bailey’s Beach - The tour along the beautiful Cliff Walk concludes near another beach: Bailey’s Beach. The northeast end of the beach, where the Cliff Walk ends, is open to the public, but Bailey’s Beach itself is private, welcoming only a very exclusive club, reminiscent of Mrs. Astor’s “400” list. Perhaps the Gilded Age lives on in Newport!
