Flying into Dublin Airport or heading out from Dublin City and making your way to Virginia Park Lodge? Your chauffeur will meet you in the arrivals hall or at your city address, take charge of the bags, and drive you north to Virginia in Co. Cavan - around an hour’s journey. It’s a comfortable, private run, and a far nicer start to a stay at Virginia Park Lodge than wrestling with a rental car.

Virginia Park Lodge sits on the shores of Lough Ramor, a sprawling lake in the middle of Cavan’s quiet drumlin country. The lodge has a long history - the estate was laid out in the 18th century and Jonathan Swift is said to have visited - but it’s the setting that stays with you, with the lake visible from the gardens and a sense of space that feels very far from Dublin despite the short drive north.
The road from Dublin to Virginia follows the N3 and N55 through Counties Meath and Cavan. You’ll pass through Navan in Meath and the landscape gradually shifts from the Boyne Valley’s rich farmland to Cavan’s characteristic low hills and small lakes. It’s an easy, pleasant drive, and the hour goes quickly if you settle in with the WiFi or just watch the countryside change.
Virginia town itself is worth a short walk when you arrive. The market town sits at the southern end of Lough Ramor and has a good few traditional pubs and cafes around its main street. The lake shore is accessible from the town park and there’s a small beach that locals use in summer. For anglers, Lough Ramor is known for pike, perch, and bream fishing.
Cavan is one of the less-visited counties in Ireland, which means you get a quieter experience once you’re there. The Cavan Burren in the northwest of the county has some genuinely dramatic karst limestone landscape, and the Cavan Way walking trail is a two-day route through the area. If your stay at Virginia Park Lodge extends a few days, the entire county rewards slow exploration by car on minor roads.
