Rambling on downs and upland (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

snowdon

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'upland' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'rambling on downs' is the wordplay.
'rambling' is an anagram indicator.
'on'+'downs'='ondowns'
'ondowns' with letters rearranged gives 'SNOWDON'.

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for snowdon that I've seen before include "Highest peak in Wales" , "Highest Welsh peak" , "Highest point of England and Wales" , "that is looked up to in Wales" , "Highest mountain in Wales" .)
