Crossword Genius

Good to wander in small wood (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grove

'small wood' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

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

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for grove that I've seen before include "Writer on music" , "small plantation" , "Small wood or avenue of trees" , "Dictionary-maker" , "Small growth of trees" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Independent.
