. visiting Old Gorge cemetery . The cemetery lies 3km from Woodville township. Head west along SH3/Napier Road, towards the (now closed) Manawatu Gorge. Just a short distance past Old Gorge Road (on your left) and over a bridge, look for the Railway Crossing sign on your right. Cemetery access is over the railway line, up the narrow, winding road and there it is, nestled among beautiful old oak trees, at the bottom of the Ruahine Range. There is parking, or you can drive around the cemetery to plots. An ingenious display board lists all names, their plots and a map.
. guided tours . Friends of Old Gorge Cemetery conduct tours on the last Sunday of each month that has 5 Sundays, with fascinating, insightful stories of the life and times of these early pioneers and settlers

Monteith, they took over the contract for road formation and bridges between Woodville and the Manawatu River. He acquired land, opened the first store and was the first Road Board chairman, a postmaster and a church warden.
