KELD 50A - Crackpot Hall
Crackpot Hall, Keld in Swaledale, the Yorkshire Dales..
The first building on this site to command one of the finest views in the area, is believed to have been a 16th century hunting lodge, built for Lord Wharton's gamekeeper when red deer roamed the valley. The present farmhouse dates back to about the mid 18th century, but it had to be abandoned in 1953 due to mining subsidence..Although the Dales authors Ella Pontefract and Marie Hartley wrote of a wild four year old child named Alice living here in the 1930s, the name Crackpot Hall has nothing to do with eccentricity; instead it has viking origins, meaning a pothole or chasm frequented by crows.

It has a low entrance, but extends for about fifty metres and does open out sufficiently for a man to stand up.
