Lands surrounded by water (5)
I believe the answer is:
isles
'lands surrounded by water' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for isles that I've seen before include "The road to these is a wellknown Scottish song" , "eg The Hebrides" , "British locations, say?" , "Archipelago" , "Eyots" .)
