My husband and I recently got married so we came to Newport for a mini moon and it was incredible. We heard all about the cliff walk so we were eager to do it and determined to complete the whole thing. We wore hiking boots- boy are we glad we did. Please wear comfortable shoes with a grip as there are lots of slippery rocks or hiking boots. Do not attempt this with sandals! The self-guided tour was amazing. While walking we were able to hear every historical fact and felt super knowledgeable by the time we went on other tours. We’re glad we did this first during our stay in Newport. The app knows exactly where you are so it comes on to tell you a bit about what you’re passing. The only downside is that because it’s on the entire time, this will drain your battery so make sure your phone is fully charged and bring a portable charger!
