Good ramble in wood (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grove

'wood' is the definition.
(grove is a kind of wood)

'good ramble' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'ramble' becomes 'rove' ('rove' can be a synonym of 'ramble').
'g'+'rove'='GROVE'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for grove that I've seen before include "small plantation" , "Small growth of trees" , "Wood of small size" , "Hurst" , "Writer on music" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
