Ceremonial fire seen changing direction from a height in France (8)
I believe the answer is:
pyrenees
'direction from a height in france' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'ceremonial fire seen changing' is the wordplay.
'ceremonial fire' becomes 'pyre' (I've seen this in another clue).
'changing' indicates an anagram.
'seen' with letters rearranged gives 'nees'.
'pyre'+'nees'='PYRENEES'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pyrenees that I've seen before include "Mountain range on the French/Spanish border" , "Chain of mountains" , "European mountain range" , "Andorra in these mountains" , "Mountains between France and Spain" .)
