Dromahair lies in the hilly north west of Leitrim amid some stunning unspoiled natural landscapes. The "Sleeping Giant" mountain formation (comprising Keelogyboy, Leean and Benbo) is visible on approaches to the village, as is Lough Gill below the Slieve Daeáne and Killerry mountain. The village itself is also idyllic, located on the banks of the River Bonet, which flows into Lough Gill. Much of Dromahair was modelled on a village in Somerset by the Earl of Leitrim, and the central streetscape still follows the pattern set down by him.
It is also a town rich in history. Dromahair was once the capital of Breifne - an ancient Celtic kingdom that stretched from Kells in County Meath across County Cavan and north County Leitrim to County Sligo. Creevelea Abbey, located on the outskirts of the village, is a Franciscan Friary which was founded in 1508 and was in use until the 17th century when the Franciscans were forced to leave by the Cromwellian army. The nave, choir, tower and transept are well preserved and it is now protected as a national monument. In addition, a castle constructed for Lord Villier (c. 1626) is present in the village. William Butler Yeats used to visit the town regularly to meet the parish priest.
Dromahair boasts several pubs and restaurants. It also contains a post office, library, there are a few convenience and general shops, hairdressers, butchers, garage, national school, 2 old churches (Roman Catholic and Church of Ireland)as well as a Health Centre. Popular attractions include Creveelea Abbey, the Tour De Humbert Cycling Trail, Parke's Castle situated beside Lough Gill on the Sligo-Dromahair road (R286, 5 km NW of the village) and the Wild Rose Waterbus which offers tours of Lough Gill between Sligo and Parke's Castle.
