Woods in an unsettled area of Wales (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

snowdonia

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

'area of wales' is the definition.
'snowdonia' can be an answer for 'area' (I have seen 'mountainous area' mean 'snowdonia' so perhaps 'area' could also mean 'snowdonia'). I am not certain of the 'of wales' bit.

'woods in an unsettled' is the wordplay.
'unsettled' is an anagram indicator.
'woods'+'in'+'an'='woodsinan'
'woodsinan' with letters rearranged gives 'SNOWDONIA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for snowdonia that I've seen before include "National park in Wales" , "Welsh mountain area" , "somewhere in 10" , "alpine region" , "massif region" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
