Point and run - ambled about in county (14)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

northumberland

'county' is the definition.
(I know that Northumberland is a county)

'point and run ambled about' is the wordplay.
'point' becomes 'north' (north is a kind of point).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'about' indicates an anagram.
'run'+'ambled'='runambled'
'runambled' with letters rearranged gives 'umberland'.
'north'+'umberland'='NORTHUMBERLAND'

'in' is the link.

(Another definition for northumberland that I've seen is " county".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
