More than 30 Taunton landmarks get to star on their very own piece of Monopoly prime estate including Somerset Life

Taunton has been immortalised with its very own Monopoly edition.

The official version features the great and the good of the town, with more than 30 Taunton landmarks getting to star on their very own piece of Monopoly prime estate - along with Somerset Life.

Appearing on the exclusive and leading Mayfair spot is Cooper Associates Somerset County Cricket Ground, while The Museum of Somerset is Park Lane.
