Area of a town/country (8)

I believe the answer is:

district

(Other definitions for district that I've seen before include "Area of town/country" , "Area, region" , "Area of town or country" , "London Underground line represented in green" , "Area of a town or city" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
