Delphi, County Mayo

Delphi (/ˈdɛlfaɪ/ or /ˈdɛlfi/; Greek: Δελφοί, [ðelˈfi]) is a locality in County Mayo, Ireland. Its English name was coined by the Marquis of Sligo, who built a hunting lodge there.

The valley includes the Owengar River that connects Fin Lough to Doo Lough, between the fjord of Killary Harbour to the south and the Sheeffry Hills to the north, and the Bundorragha River and valley that is surrounded by the Mweelrea Mountains and the neighbouring peaks of Ben Creggan and Ben Gorm. The R335 road passes through it.
