Cold region in Central Italy that includes the lake district? (7)
I believe the answer is:
cumbria
'cold region in central italy that includes the lake district?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'cold region in central italy' is the wordplay.
'cold' becomes 'c' (eg on taps).
'region in central italy' becomes 'umbria' (I've seen this in another clue).
'c'+'umbria'='CUMBRIA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cumbria that I've seen before include "County of northwest England" , "Keswick's county" , "NW English county" , "Lake district area" , "Lake District county since 1974" .)
