It's heavenly in this place and others around (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ethereal

'it's heavenly' is the definition.
('ethereal' can be similar in meaning to 'heavenly')

'this place and others around' is the wordplay.
'this place' becomes 'here' (I've seen this in other clues).
'and others' becomes 'etal' ('et al.' can be a synonym of 'and others').
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'here' placed into 'etal' is 'ETHEREAL'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ethereal that I've seen before include "Fine" , "Extremely delicate and light, not of this world" , "There in lea - it looks delicate" , "Airy or supernatural" , "'Fairy-like, delicate (8)'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
