Much-loved walk around historic city in Kent? (9)
I believe the answer is:
treasured
'much-loved' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'walk around historic city in kent?' is the wordplay.
'walk' becomes 'tread' (treading is a kind of walking).
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'historic city' becomes 'ur' (ancient Sumerian city state).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'kent?' becomes 'se' (Kent is part of the South East of England).
'ur' placed inside 'se' is 'sure'.
'tread' going around 'sure' is 'TREASURED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for treasured that I've seen before include "Darling" , "thought highly of" , "Valued" , "Chersihed, held dear" , "Loved" .)
