Dromore West (Irish: An Droim Mór Thiar[2]) is a village in County Sligo, Ireland.
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 is a pub in the village centre, though not open throughout the week, it does not serve food.[citation needed] There is a mini supermarket, a petrol station with shop and off licence, a chemist, a hairdresser, HSE health centre, Chinese takeaway & Kebab shop, a butcher and a post office & a Veterinary practice. The old parish church, near the school in Leharrow, had been replaced by a modern one close to the village on the Easkey road.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.
