Woodville, once known as The Junction, sits at the eastern mouth of the Manawatū Gorge where the roads from Palmerston North, Masterton and Napier all meet. Established in the 1870s, it has reinvented itself as an antiques and collectables stop, its main street lined with second-hand and bric-a-brac shops that pull in bargain hunters. The hills above carry the turbines of the Tararua wind farms, a modern landmark over an old crossroads town.
