Sidmouth Tourist Information Centre welcomed a group from Sidmouth's twin town last week.

The visitors, from Le Locle in Switzerland, were hosted by members of Sidmouth's twinning circle and reportedly had a busy schedule touring the town and nearby villages as well as attending a civic reception.
