Piece of ground with specific characteristics (7)

I believe the answer is:

terrain

(Other definitions for terrain that I've seen before include "Stretch of land of a particular sort" , "Trainer (anag) - land" , "Stretch of land with respect to its character" , "A stretch of land for trainer" , "Physical feature of a stretch of ground" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Irish Times.
