Caves within half hour of bakewell

Looking for a cheeky morning trip, few hours tops within half hour of Bakewell, not Holme Bank though, any suggestions???

Best bet is Stoney Middleton. Shouldn't be more than 15 to 20 mins from Bakewell.

Can suggest:
Carlswark via Gin or Eyam Shaft (ladder req.)
Streaks via Lower Entrance
Nickergrove to rear chamber

and many, many other holes/grovels/crawls (delete as appropriate.)

Within half an hour of Bakewell - that practically offers you every hole to be found in Caves of the Peak District - as long as you are in motorised transport and drive at a reasonable speed!

Getting vaway from the slandering of my driving, what about Hillocks or Knotlow, only about 10/15 mins from Bakewell!
