Dromore West is situated on the Dunneil River and sits between the Ox Mountains and the Atlantic coast. A river walk runs from just below the petrol station towards the sea.[citation needed] There is an old Napoleonic tower at the top of Ballykilcash hill, on the Wild Atlantic Way, near the village.[citation needed]
There are four public houses in the village, though not all open throughout the week.[citation needed] There are also two shops, a restaurant, a chemist, a hairdresser, health centre, bakery, Chinese takeaway, butcher and a post office and florist. The old parish church, near the school in Leharrow, had been replaced by a modern one close to the village on the Easkey road. [citation needed] There are two Christian churches - one Anglican and one Roman Catholic - in the village.
