Dry man on oddly famous landing place (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

normandy

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

'famous landing place' is the definition.
'normandy' can be an answer for 'place' (I have seen 'place of William' mean 'normandy' so perhaps 'place' could also mean 'normandy'). I am not certain of the 'famous landing' bit.

'dry man on oddly' is the wordplay.
'oddly' indicates an anagram (letters in an odd order).
'dry'+'man'+'on'='drymanon'
'drymanon' is an anagram of 'NORMANDY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for normandy that I've seen before include "Region of NE France bordering on English channel" , "Area of Northern France" , "Region of NW France bordering on English Channel" , "9 [HOUSE]" , "North France region" .)
