The Cliff Walk is a 3.5 miles walking journey. The best part about it is...it's free! All you need is a good pair of walking shoes and perhaps a bottle of water. When I went I also brought along camera. While the start is technically at Memorial Beoulevard there are several areas where you can pick up along the walk.
It is great on nice days to walk along and see the ocean as well as the views of the mansion grounds. One note however is that the cliff walk does get a bit more difficult as it goes along. Some parts of it are smooth while others are all large bouldars and they say at the start that you proceed at your own risk. Also do be on the look out for posion ivy.
One thing to look for is the Forty steps on Narragansett Ave. There are also plenty of other interesting sites along the way.

Address: Memorial Boulevard (start)
