Dromod or Drumod (Irish: Dromad, meaning 'long ridge, or back of the wood')[2] is a village in County Leitrim, Ireland.[3][4] Dromod is a fishing village beside Bofin and Boderg, which are threaded by the River Shannon. Built along the River Shannon, this is a Tidy Towns winner with a modern harbour that is frequently used by cruiser traffic.[citation needed] A water feature in the centre of the village, entitled 'The Weeping Tree', and was made by a local craftsman from a piece of bog oak which was found nearby.[citation needed]
