Claro Barracks is a British Army installation in Ripon, North Yorkshire.

[2] Wilfred Owen wrote many of his poems when based at the barracks, known at the time as Ripon Army Camp,[3] in spring 1918.

[4] At the start of the Second World War, the School of Military Engineering, which had been based in Chatham, was split into two training battalions, one of which re-located to the barracks.

The site was identified as a home for the School of Bomb Disposal, formed in 1941, reflecting the nomination of the Royal Engineers as being responsible for the discipline.

[8] In 1974, a bomb attack by the Provisional Irish Republican Army badly damaged the barracks.
