LIVEDonal's Irish Adventure - Antrim
The only way is up in this episode as Donal and his trusty sheepdog Max head northbound to county Antrim. It's home to the bustling city of Belfast and to some of the island's spectacular landscapes. First up, Donal takes a bracing walk along The Gobbins cliff path with local guide Gerry. Donal visits the famous Bushmills distillery where he learns the techniques involved in creating their famous casks, of course he has to sample the fruits of their labour too! Inspired by this visit, Donal whips up a whiskey and apple sweet treat on the grounds of Glenarm Castle. Just a short drive down the road, Donal happens upon Belfast city centre where he takes a guided tour in a black cab where he discovers "hundreds of years of history in a couple of stops". Donal visits Aunt Sandra's sweet shop, a family run business where he has some hands-on experience of making their local delicacy "yellowman". Taking a break from the hustle and bustle of the city, Donal visits Michelin star restaurant "Ox" to sample their refined tasting menu and meet head chef Stephen Toman. Suitably fed and watered, Donal takes a trip to the breathtaking glens of Antrim for a spot of fly fishing with a local guide.
