Giant’s Causeway on new Monopoly board
Tuesday, 29 September 2009
Generations of British Monopoly players have travelled round a board which stretches through London from the Old Kent Road to Mayfair.
But now would-be property speculators are being given the chance to own everything from the Giant’s Causeway and Strangford Lough to stately homes and country estates as the National Trust launches its own version of the world-famous game.
Lyme Park in Cheshire, the site where a nation's hearts were set a-flutter when Colin Firth's Mr Darcy emerged from the lake at Pemberley in the BBC adaptation of Pride And Prejudice, replaces Mayfair as the most coveted property.
At the other end of the social scale the Old Kent Road and Whitechapel have been replaced by Sir Paul McCartney's childhood home 20 Forthlin Road, Liverpool, and the 19th century Birmingham ‘Back to Backs’.
London's top shopping streets, Bond Street, Oxford Street and Regent Street, have been usurped by some of the UK's most dramatic landscapes — Snowdonia, the Giant's Causeway and the High Peak Estate.
The stations of the original game have been replaced by beaches and coastline including Woolacombe in Devon and our own Strangford Lough.
Fiona Reynolds of the National Trust said: “Sales of the game go directly to helping us look after the real versions of the special places on the board.”
