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. There is an old Napoleonic tower at the top of Ballykilcash hill, on the Wild Atlantic Way, near the village.

There are four public houses in the village, though not all open throughout the week. There are also two shops, a restaurant, a chemist, a hairdresser, health centre, bakery, Chinese take away, 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 The old parish church, near the school in Leharrow, had been replaced by a modern one close to the village on the Easkey road.
