Learner with document showing feature of terrain (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

landmark

'feature of terrain' is the definition.
(a terrain or landscape has landmarks)

'learner with document' is the wordplay.
'learner' becomes 'l' (as in a learner driver with L-plates on their car).
'with' becomes 'and'.
'document' becomes 'mark' (document can mean to mark or record).
'l'+'and'+'mark'='LANDMARK'

'showing' is the link.

(Other definitions for landmark that I've seen before include "Shard, for example" , "Turning point, watershed" , "Momentous event" , "Significant feature or event" , "cairn, possibly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
