Discover Ltd. - The Company

Discover Ltd. has been providing fieldwork trips for students from all over Europe for the last 19 years and in that time has built up an enviable reputation as a specialist operator in the educational field.

This is because the company provides a personal professional service - each client is different - and Discover offers a wide range of tailor made packages at competitive prices.

We own and operate "The Eagles Nest" fieldstudy centre in France's Cévennes National Park and "The Kasbah du Toubkal" fieldstudy centre and auberge in Morocco's High Atlas mountains.

There have been many thousands of pupils and hundreds of school trips that have enjoyed the educational experience that Discover offers as well as many non-educational organisations that have taken advantage of our personal service and planning.

We are, of course, bonded by ABTA, SAGTA and the Civil Aviation Authority.

The first stage in planning a trip with us is to browse our website and see what we can offer you. Once you have an idea of our services please contact the Discover UK office manager, Jacquie Crofts, who has many years of experience in arranging trips. She can discuss the types of fieldwork you wish to do or suggest activities and itineraries in France and Morocco. She can, if you wish, put you in touch with other organisations who have used our services so that you may form an opinion about our company based on unbiased third party opinion.
Once you have a good idea of what you wish to achieve and your possible group size then Jacquie will do as little or as much planning on your behalf as you wish. For example we can let you organise your transport using your resources or if you are travelling with a large group we can organise coaches fully meeting EU specifications with drivers who have made the journey to "The Eagles Nest" many times and who also know the many routes in Central Southern France between the many sites of interest and fieldwork. These coaches can collect the group from the place of departure so that one element of worry is completely eliminated. By using one operator who is a specialist in his field we ensure high standards of safety and also we develop good links between our customers and the people that can contribute in a very positive way to the trips success.

Further piece of mind is given by our bonds with the major travel associations who independently protect your trip. These are ABTA, SAGTA and the Civil Aviation Authority and we are also members of Green Globe, the travel environmental group.

Our ATOL licence number is 3274 and our ABTA membership is V4335. Our CAA membership means that we can issue air tickets for groups by dealing directly with the airlines. This has advantages for us in that we can organise trips more quickly, and advantages for our clients in that savings made by not using third parties can keep our prices very affordable to academic parties. Our membership of Green Globe shows our commitment to environmental issues and we put these into practice at our centres by using resources in a considered manner, using local resources where possible and creating strong links with local people to lessen the environmental impact of our work. This, for example, works well in Imlil where the impact of academic parties on a small village is of advantage to villagers in that the Imlil Village Association is a direct result of this collaboration. This in turn has led to a clean-up initiative in the area to remove rubbish on the route to Mount Toubkal and this has been jointly carried out by villagers and students from the UK.
