Matt Eastwood shared with What’sUpNewp these drone highlights that he recently captured during an absolutely spectacular November day over Newport.

This video includes drone footage taken in Newport – a city set on Aquidneck Island in the state of Rhode Island – in November 2017.

Newport is also known for the Gilded Age mansions lining Bellevue Avenue, some of which are now museums. The most famous is The Breakers, an 1895 mansion built by the Vanderbilts which is patterned after a Renaissance palace.
