Good Street Views of Newport Mansions Possible?

I am visiting the Newport Mansions but will not have time to go into the mansions (some other time...). Would it be possible to get a good view of the exteriors of the mansions from the main street? I think I remember someone saying that you are not allowed onto any of the mansion grounds without buying a ticket. What about parking? Would there be a place for me to park if I just wanted to snap a couple pictures of the mansion exteriors without going in?

I guess I could see the mansions from the Cliff Walk...but I think this would only be a view of the backyards...

Thanks.

yes, you can get shots of many of the mansions without buying a ticket...drive down bellevue and look for the mansions that are open, there are some parking lots right there where you can snap a couple of pictures, also as you say, from the back on the Cliff Walk. I%26#39;m not sure about the Breakers, as they might have their ticket booth right inside the gate....I forget...

Take the cliff walk. It is about 3.5 miles long, but you don%26#39;t have to do the whole thing. This walk will allow you to see the seaward side of many of Newport%26#39;s mansions.
