One’s bounds or usual haunts (7)

I believe the answer is:

purlieu

(Other definitions for purlieu that I've seen before include "Frequently-visited place" , "Land bordering a forest still subject to forest laws" , "Person's usual haunts" , "Environs" , "One's limits or usual haunts" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
