Outskirts of Henley not far away? (5)
I believe the answer is:
handy
'away?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for handy that I've seen before include "Local - nearby" , "Accessible" , "Convenient summary" , "Near; useful" , "Convenient; skilful" .)
