Cornwall is around 1400 square miles and the team covers all inland parts up to the border with Devon, with HM Coastguard covering the coastal areas. Although most of the county is farmland and semi rural, over 300 square miles of this is open moorland including tors and lowland heath. The patch includes five of the seven Marilyns found in Devon and Cornwall.
Although the team borders four other teams at the eastern end of the county, its promontory position means it has to be completely self sufficient, being unable to rely on immediate help from neighbouring teams for incidents in the western parts of the teams area.
