Crackpot is a village in Swaledale, North Yorkshire, England. Its name derives from the Old English ''kraka'' (a crow) and the Viking word ''pot'' (usually a cavity or deep hole often in the bed of a river, but in Crackpot's case it refers to a rift in the limestone).〔Olmert, Michael (1996). ''Milton's Teeth and Ovid's Umbrella: Curiouser & Curiouser Adventures in History'', p.238. Simon & Schuster, New York. ISBN 0-684-80164-7.〕 ==Crackpot Cave==
Crackpot Cave is located south of Crackpot in Scurvey Scar. It contains a fine example of a column - where a stalactite has joined up with its stalagmite. To get to it you have to pass along the aptly named Knee-wrecker Passage.
