Walk Description:
This year the official winter solstice, also known as the "hibernal solstice", takes places on Sunday 21 December 2025. In the UK, the sun will start to set at at approximately 3.54pm, marking the shortest period of daylight and the longest night of the year.
True enough, the winter solstice is the shortest day and it seems reasonable to assume that on this day the sun will rise later than on any other day and set earlier. This, though, is not the case.
The earliest sunsets in the year occur about a week before the solstice, and the latest sunrises around early January. The days as a whole do get longer on 23 December because on this day the returning light in the evening finally outweighs the still diminishing morning light.
