Person of property’s path runs around upland (9)
I believe the answer is:
landowner
'person of property's' is the definition.
'landowner' can be an answer for 'person' (landowner is a kind of person). I am not certain of the 'of property's' bit.
'path runs around upland' is the wordplay.
'path' becomes 'lane' (lane is a kind of path).
'runs' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'upland' becomes 'down' (down is a kind of upland).
'lane'+'r'='laner'
'laner' going around 'down' is 'LANDOWNER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for landowner that I've seen before include "Owner of an area" , "One with much property" , "One with title to an area" , "Man of means" , "Possessor of real estate" .)
