View of bear on headland (10)
I believe the answer is:
standpoint
'view' is the definition.
(standpoint is a kind of view)
'bear on headland' is the wordplay.
'bear' becomes 'stand' (bear can mean to stand or endure).
'on' says to put letters next to each other (in a down clue, letters appear on others).
'headland' becomes 'point' (point is a kind of headland).
'stand'+'point'='STANDPOINT'
'of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for standpoint that I've seen before include "Opinion" , "Take" , "Attitude towards a particular issue" , "view" .)
