Tie up new horse? Risky around this northern area (9,5)
I believe the answer is:
yorkshire moors
'this northern area' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'tie up new horse? risky around' is the wordplay.
'tie up' becomes 'moor' (I've seen this before).
'new' indicates anagramming the letters.
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'horse'+'risky'='horserisky'
'horserisky' is an anagram of 'yorkshires'.
'moor' inserted into 'yorkshires' is 'YORKSHIRE MOORS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
