A fair touring around, note, covers a lot of ground! (6)
I believe the answer is:
africa
'ground' is the definition.
(Africa is an example)
'a fair touring around note covers a lot' is the wordplay.
'touring' indicates anagramming the letters (touring can mean moving around).
'around note' becomes 'a' (musical note. I am not sure about the 'around' bit.**).
'covers' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'a lot' becomes 'c'.
'fair' with letters rearranged gives 'afri'.
'afri'+'a'='afria'
'afria' enclosing 'c' is 'AFRICA'.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for africa that I've seen before include "Out of . . . . . . (film) (6)" , "Continent S. of Europe" , "Burn; fish" , "Always something new from it (Pliny)" , "Continent for 21 Down" .)
