"Dun queen"?

corblimey

So I was chatting with my Kerry uncle this weekend, I've got a trip planned out wesht next year and was asking for some tips, and he mentioned what sounded like 'dun queen' to me, as a good place to visit. I have literally no idea what it was, a town, a walk, a small animal. We were both tired and emotional and I could understand about every fifth word out of this mouth, but I made a note to look it up and add it to my agenda.

Now, I have no clue what it is, and Google and TA are no use. Is there anything vaguely touristy that sounds vaguely like 'dun queen'? It may be on the Slea head drive somewhere, and I'm fairly sure it's on the Dingle peninsula, but not 100%. Any leads would be helpful.

Try searching for "Dunquin" or "Dún Chaoin". Your uncle is right, it's a great place to visit with a beautiful beach very close to Slea Head.

The place you're looking for is Dunquin/Dún Chaoin - at the farthest end of the Dingle peninsula. In Irish it would sound a little bit like Dun Queen
