The Cliff Walk in Newport certainly is a good place for one. It goes for about three and one-half miles along the southern edge of the town, with the bay and ocean keeping you good company along the way.
This is a walk where you aren't sure where to turn. The coastline is one of New England's best. The rocks along the way supply character, and the waves add a dash of excitement. But turn toward land, and you can see spectacular mansions that date back more than a century. There are 64 private properties along the way as well as some public ones.
Most of the path is paved and easy to navigate, although there are some steps along the way. The end part isn't so easy, at least as of the fall of 2017. But you can stop at many different points along the way and cut toward the town streets. There is a bus line that goes right by much of the route, so you can hitch a ride back quite easily if you are tired.
Close your eyes, and you can almost picture one of the Vanderbilts doing wheat you're doing.
If you like to see what the walk looks like ...
