Sudbury and Höxter have been twinned since 1980.

      

News Update

Sudbury twinners had a thoroughly enjoyable weekend in Höxter during the Bank Holiday Weekend. Our German friends took us to Heiligenstadt, and to Grenzmuseum on the old border, as well as entertaining us to a wonderful variety of activities.

                         
School visits, work experience placements, orchestral concerts and sporting events are some of the enriching activities to have taken place between the two towns. Personal and family friendships have matured across two and even three generations.

                                

                                   


Höxter, in the heart of Weserbergland, is an important regional centre for business, industry, education and culture. The elegant timbered town houses, the shopping areas and open spaces offer excellent opportunities for leisure and sightseeing.

The Weserbergland area is one of outstanding natural beauty. The wooded hills and forested parks are easily accessible and have many first-class cycling and walking routes.

 

Höxter has excellent twinning links with Corbie, France.
