Place or state of safety (6)

I believe the answer is:

refuge

(Other definitions for refuge that I've seen before include "we aim for on the way?" , "Place of retreat, sanctuary" , "Safe haven" , "Traffic island" , "Shelter or protection from danger or trouble" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
