Litters the county (4)
I believe the answer is:
beds
This could be a double definition.
'litters' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'the county' is the second definition.
(abbreviation for Bedfordshire)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for beds that I've seen before include "Cots, bunks etc -- eastern English county (abbr)" , "Hospital places" , "Places to sow or to sleep" , "County; furniture" , "Shortened county" .)
