I believe the answer is:

place

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

'where' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'step round the corner' is the wordplay.
'step' becomes 'pace' (synonyms).
'round' is an insertion indicator.
'the corner' becomes 'l' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'pace' going around 'l' is 'PLACE'.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for place that I've seen before include "Site" , "Location; put" , "Put in - winning position" , "Scene; put" , "Spot" .)
