Plymouth Moor View covers the northern part of Plymouth. The electoral wards which make up the constituency are Budshead, Eggbuckland, Ham, Honicknowle, Moor View, St Budeaux and Southway.[3]
The remaining wards from the City of Plymouth are in the constituencies of Plymouth Sutton and Devonport and South West Devon.
The composition of the constituency from the next general election, due by January 2025, will be expanded slightly in order to bring the electorate within the permitted range by adding north-western parts of the City of Plymouth ward of Peverell - namely polling districts KC and KD - to be transferred from Plymouth Sutton and Devonport.[5]
