Transportation

Nestled in the heart of Texas at the northern tip of the beautiful Hill Country, Clifton is just a short drive from major cities – offering a pastoral oasis with small-town hospitality and an enriching escape. 

Conveniently located midway between Austin and Dallas/Ft. Worth, and only minutes from Waco, Clifton is home to a diverse community of generous, hard-working folks.  With a rich agricultural and arts heritage, Clifton remains true to its roots but always looking ahead – investing in the local economy and tomorrow’s brightest hope, our children.   It’s a small town with big ideas!

Clifton is located 35 miles northwest of Waco along State Highway 6, 90 miles southwest of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, and 90 miles northwest of Austin.  Its central location and ease of access to metropolitan areas has strongly influenced the community, and many residents commute to larger cities and weekend in the quiet country.
