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

'county' is the definition.
(I know that Devon is a county)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for devon that I've seen before include "County in SW England" , "West country county" , "Raleigh's county" , "Ilfracombe's county" , "part of England?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
