All done but I have a loose end. Can someone please give me a nudge to unravel the wordplay for 10d?

Kitsune, if you insert “put” at the start of the clue it should be obvious

posts 11,12, 15 - it ain't a circle that's required - 'ovoid' at the best - 'loop' is fine.

Murky re post#17 - you want an egg in your beer? It's called a 'puzzle'.

Quixote - it just struck me that draw a loop around was an odd choice of words when circle (in the sense of encompass with a line) would do.
I wondered if it meant something else was needed such as continuing the map outside the grid. I can’t see that it does though.
Circle is commonly used on exam papers and questionnaires. I have never seen draw a loop around used on this way. Indeed if you Google “circle the correct answer” (in speech marks) you get 623000 hits. “Draw a loop around the correct answer” gives only 1.

Very good I thought. Gradually fell into place bit by bit and was something a bit different. Didn't understand the unclued entry til I had the name at the end, wasn't aware of this place before. Quite tempted to visit now.

Found this interesting as had not heard of it before. The Listener is a good source of unknown-before information. However, having finished this, just one clue 16A that I can’t parse although I have the answer! Thanks.
