Sir Walter Raleigh (1552-1618) twice attempted to found a colony at Roanoke, Virginia. The second group, led by John White, established a settlement there in 1587, but had mysteriously disappeared by the time White returned there in 1591.

When did sir Walter Raleigh begin exploring?

Ralegh didn't discover Virginia. Ralegh never came to what is now the United States of America. He was instrumental in putting together the first two Roanoke Voyages - the first one was in 1585. By 1587 when the colony now known as 'the lost colony' embarked for the New World, Ralegh had effectively given up his sponsorship. The colonists came to Roanoke Island where the first two voyages had landed. The colony, however, was not bound for Roanoke Island, in what is now North Carolina, as a final destination point - they were supposed to go to the Chesapeake Bay in what is now Virginia. They were put off at Roanoke Island. The entire area was at that time called Virginia, in honor of Elizabeth, the Virgin Queen.
