In this part of the country athletic kit's red, surprisingly (3,4,8)
I believe the answer is:
the lake district
'in this part of the country' is the definition.
'the lake district' can be an answer for 'part of the country' (part of England). I am not sure about the rest of the definition.
'athletic kit's red surprisingly' is the wordplay.
'surprisingly' is an anagram indicator (a surprising ordering of the letters).
'athletic'+'kits'+'red'='athletickitsred'
'athletickitsred' anagrammed gives 'THE LAKE DISTRICT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
