Sat, Jan 4 9:30 A.M. NHPBS (11.1)  

Donal and Max are steering their way to the Ancient East, a land of myths and legends and food traditions but first up Donal takes to the sky to battle a great fear of heights at Carlingford Adventure Centre. With feet firmly planted back on ground and long acquainted with the only remaining keeved cider in Ireland, Donal visits Cockagee Cider and Orchard. The 12 acre orchard is located near the town of Slane, and owner Mark Jenkinson explains to Donal why he prefers this ancient tradition over more modern processes. Just a ten minute drive, set in the middle of a 1,500 acre estate in the heart of the Boyne Valley sits Slane Castle. Over 240 years old, it is steeped in history but more recently has been home to Ireland's greatest rock concerts including U2, Madonna, Rolling Stones, Metallic and David Bowie to name a few. Owner Lady Iona Mountcharles invites Donal and Max to stay the night but first Donal cooks his Boyne Valley Cider Pork, using Cockagee cider.
