Cliff Walk
For a glorious hike take the 3.5-mile Cliff Walk, which hugs the coast along the back side of the mansions. You will not only enjoy the same dramatic ocean views that were once reserved for the filthy rich, but you will get to gawk at their mansions along the way. The Cliff Walk stretches from Memorial Blvd to Bailey's Beach; a scenic place to start is at Ruggles Ave near the Breakers.

Ashuwillticook Rail Trail
When Boston and Main Railroad gave up on the corridor between Lanesborough and Adams in 1990, citizens agitated to have it recast as a universally accessible walk/bike path, and thus the 11-mile Ashuwillticook Rail Trail was born. The trail closely follows the Hoosic River and the Cheshire Reservoir through glorious wetlands, with many benches along the way and a handful of rest facilities.
The southern access is by the Berkshire Mall at the intersection of MA 9 and MA 8 between Pittsfield and Dalton, and parking is available at both ends.
