Far away on a Norfolk lake (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abroad

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

'far away' is the definition.
'abroad' can be an answer for 'away' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'far' bit.

'a norfolk lake' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'a' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'broad' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'on' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for abroad that I've seen before include "In a foreign country" , "Stare lecherously at (someone)" , "to France, maybe" , "in France, say" , "not in Britain" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
