Shannon

Shannon is a small rural township servicing a farming community. It’s located on State Highway 57 just 1.5 hours from both Wellington and Wanganui, and 30 minutes from Palmerston North. In the foothills east of the township is the historic Mangahao Power Station, and the site of the largest flax mill in New Zealand is just to the north.

Visit Owlcatraz Tourist and Educational Park, the historic Railway Station, or browse through the shops and relax over coffee.
