Crackpot Hall is the ruined remains of a seventeenth century farmhouse in Upper Swaledale in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. It has suffered from mining subsidence and the front wall has fallen out. There was enough masonry remaining to justify stabilisation, clearing out the interior, and capping the walls so as to make the building of interest to walkers using the nearby Coast to Coast long distance footpath.

The work was substantially grant aided by the Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust.
