Sunset charity hike planned for the summer solstice
The St David's Hospice Foundation is organising the event, which will take place on Saturday, June 21, 2025. The walk will lead participants to the top of the Iron Age hillfort on Twmbarlwm, starting from Cwmcarn Forest Drive. Registration begins at 6.30pm, with the hike starting at 7pm and concluding at 10pm. The entry fee for the charity event starts from £5. Celebrated on the longest day of the year, the summer solstice marks the end of spring and the beginning of summer. The organisers have described the event as a 'mindful charity walk' with opportunities to take in the views of Newport and the Severn estuary. Live music will be a part of the evening's festivities, with musician Anna Young performing a variety of songs as participants begin and end their walk. At the top of Twmbarlwm, participants will be greeted by the sunset and the sounds of Welsh bagpiper Matthew Bartlett, adding to the unique experience of the walk.
