    Teddesley Park.

    Because I have a keen eye for detail, today I noticed on the Cannock Road something that I pass 4 times a day for the past 3 years, Teddesley Park. Is this open to the public, can I pull in and park up and walk my dog, or is this private grounds and not accessible to the public?
