Abbot, cheeky, fond of strange remote place (3,4,2,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

the back of beyond

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

'remote place' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'abbot cheeky fond of strange' is the wordplay.
'of strange' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'strange' mean this).
'abbot'+'cheeky'+'fond'='abbotcheekyfond'
'abbotcheekyfond' anagrammed gives 'THE BACK OF BEYOND'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for the back of beyond that I've seen before include "Finding this remote area might need a plan" , "Extremely remote place" , "most remote spot?" , "A really remote area" , "ND" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
