Circular
Diesford Forest is very beautiful, well cultivated and ideal for walks. There are many informative signs and information boards along the paths. There are wide, well-maintained paths in the fenced-in part of the nature park. As soon as you leave the fenced-in area and enter the more freely accessible part, you can take narrower paths. The Diesfordter Waldsee is beautifully landscaped and has been transformed from a former quarry pond for sand and gravel extraction into a biotope. Most of the walk there is on tarmac roads with car traffic.
