Bristol
Bristol is one of the oldest towns in Rhode Island and one of the most picturesque. It is on Narragansett Bay, about 20 minutes from Newport or Little Compton and a half hour from Providence. The town itself has interesting shops, excellent and varied restaurants and a sailing history. The famous Herreshoff America's Cup Defenders were built on the town's waterfront and a marine museum commemorates the Herreshoff history. In addition, Linden Place (where parts of the Great Gatsby were filmed), Mount Hope Farm, an 18th century mansion and grounds, and Blithewold, a world-famous mansion and arboretum are a bike ride away from Harbour Oaks.
