HILL COUNTRY REGION: WIMBERLEY TEXAS

WIMBERLEY TEXAS

Wimberley is a picturesque village in the Central Texas Hill Country, with a population of around 3,800.

Wimberley may be a small town but it looms large as a sort of Texas artist's colony. The town along both sides of RM 12 is a collection of galleries, studios and crafts shops.

From April through December Wimberley Market Days takes place on the First Saturday of the month. Market Days is second only to Canton First Monday Trade Days. At Wimberley's Market Days you'll find arts crafts and a flea market with over 450 booths.

The Blue Hole is a popular Wimberley attraction with a cypress lined swimming hole on Cypress Creek. At the Blue Hole you'll find camping, swimming and picnicking. Head east on CR 173 a half mile, then turn left onto Blue Hole Road. Check in at the Wimberley Visitor's Center on RR 12 just north of the townsquare to find out the latest Blue Hole information.

Just south of Wimberley you can drive the Devil's Backbone by taking RM 32 west 24 miles to Blanco.

Bella Vista Ranch is modeled after a typical Italian farm. The ranch has more than 800 olive trees. In the spring you can pick your own olives. You can also do some wine tasting of Bella Vista Cellars wines, made from various fruits grown on the ranch.

At Jade Gardens, on RR 12, on the south end of Wimberley you'll find the Central Texas Bonsai Exhibit with more than 160 species of trees stuck in over 1,000 planters.
