I believe the answer is:

idyll

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'pastoral scene' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for idyll that I've seen before include "piece of poetry" , "Charming pastoral scene" , "Scene of happy innocence" , "Bucolic state" , "Picturesque rural scene" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
