Like the countryside in Outer Urals (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rural

'like the countryside' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'in outer urals' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'RURAL' is hidden in the letters of 'outer urals'.

(Other definitions for rural that I've seen before include "Cobbett saw on his rides?" , "Connected with farming" , "Old country fellow" , "Agrestic" , "Of the country - pastoral" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
