Really awesome walking trails. It reminds me of the English or Irish country side.

A very welcome break from touring the mansions and historic homes and museums in the Providence Jamestown Newport area. My husband and I greatly enjoyed the walk, but some of the letters seem to be missing from the gates, so we did a bit of backtracking. None the less it was a delightful place to spend time. The vistas are marvelous, so any photographer will love it here period and small children could be run ragged!

Watson farm is a still operating historical farm, worked by a family who lives at the property. As far as I know it is not open to the public except when stated with a sign at the driveway. Sheep shearing day every year is a rare chance to explore! Local food (oysters!), local(really really local) burgers, etc), live music, some historic organizations are all there but the sheep are the main show. Lambs to pet, and an expertly efficient team gently wrestling the adults and shearing them quickly and impressively, the fleeces are laid out and farm/new england historic staff take you from carding to spinning your own yarn with a drop spindle or the full Rumpelstiltskin deal. At other times during the year I believe the farm is open for tours. You can walk past the red Devon cattle down to the water. My favorite is always the working border collies who will helpfully herd guests when not otherwise occupied, but are gentle enough to beg young visitors to play fetch. Watch out for ticks!

Beautiful historic farm with really nice dogs. You can walk down various paths to get to the beach, but it's a long and hot walk (not many trees) if you're with kids. It's a great place to spend an afternoon! Just make sure you go on their website before you plan on going, because there are only certain days where you can actually go there.
