Figures ways to get to the New Inn (5)
I believe the answer is:
nines
'figures' is the definition.
'ways to get to the new inn' is the wordplay.
'ways' becomes 'es' (east and south - two directions).
'to get' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'to the new' indicates an anagram.
'inn' with letters rearranged gives 'nin'.
'es' after 'nin' is 'NINES'.
(Other definitions for nines that I've seen before include "Very smart if dressed to these" , "Dressed to these is to be perfectly turned out" , "9s" , "In emergency, press three of these" , "Numbers to which one may be dressed up?" .)
