Sir John Moore Barracks is a military installation near Winchester.
The site used to be known as RAF Flowerdown until 1986 when it was renamed Sir John Moore Barracks, after Lieutenant General Sir John Moore, and became the new depot for the Light Division when they moved from Peninsula Barracks, Winchester.
It is also home to the Army Training Regiment, Winchester. In November 2016 the Ministry of Defence announced that the site would close in 2021.
