Excited girls tour cheese region (15)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gloucestershire

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

'region' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'excited girls tour cheese' is the wordplay.
'excited' indicates an anagram.
'girls'+'tour'+'cheese'='girlstourcheese'
'girlstourcheese' anagrammed gives 'GLOUCESTERSHIRE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gloucestershire that I've seen before include "English county" , "area around Cheltenham" , "Potter's tailor had it round" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
