Follow the path until you reach the end and merge onto Route 1A towards Newport. Continue on this route until you reach Bellevue Avenue. The Elms will be on your right. The total distance is approximately 10 miles, so plan for about an hour of biking.

  For a scenic walking route, start at the East Greenwich Town Beach and walk south along the shoreline towards the East Greenwich waterfront. Continue along the waterfront for about 1.5 miles until you reach the Newport Bridge. Once you reach the bridge, follow the signs to the pedestrian walkway. Cross the bridge and follow the signs to Newport. Once in Newport, continue along the waterfront until you reach Bellevue Avenue. The Elms will be approximately a 15-minute walk from the bridge on Bellevue Avenue.
