Mood at Cambridgeshire location showing moderation (11)
I believe the answer is:
temperately
'showing moderation' is the definition.
(temperate can mean moderate or restrained)
'mood at cambridgeshire location' is the wordplay.
'mood' becomes 'temper' (temper is one's mood or state of mind).
'cambridgeshire location' becomes 'Ely' (Ely is a cathedral city in Cambridgeshire).
'temper'+'at'+'ely'='TEMPERATELY'
(Another definition for temperately that I've seen is " In self-restrained manner".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
