Delphi (Irish: Fionnloch, meaning "white/fair lake")[1] is a locality in County Mayo, Ireland. Its English name was coined by the Marquis of Sligo, who built a famous hunting lodge there.[2] It is located on the Owengarr River that connects Fin Lough to Doo Lough, between the fjord of Killary Harbour to the south and the Sheeffry Hills to the north, in a valley surrounded by the Mweelrea Mountains and the neighbouring peaks of Ben Creggan and Ben Gorm in a very beautiful part of the westerly Irish region of southwest Mayo near the Galway border.[2] The R335 road passes through it.
