glen

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it's part' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'of a dingle naturally' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'GLEN' is hidden within 'dingle naturally'.

Can you help me to learn more?
