Dry man on oddly famous landing place (8)
I believe the answer is:
normandy
'famous landing place' is the definition.
'normandy' can be an answer for 'place' (I have seen 'place of William' mean 'normandy' so perhaps 'place' could also mean 'normandy'). I am not certain of the 'famous landing' bit.
'dry man on oddly' is the wordplay.
'oddly' indicates an anagram (letters in an odd order).
'dry'+'man'+'on'='drymanon'
'drymanon' is an anagram of 'NORMANDY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for normandy that I've seen before include "Region of NE France bordering on English channel" , "Area of Northern France" , "Region of NW France bordering on English Channel" , "9 [HOUSE]" , "North France region" .)
