Not many natural caves in the Cumbrian Lakes areas - a few slip-rift things mainly, but there are loads of abandoned metal mines and underground quarries - check out other areas on the aditnow site, and also mine-explorer.co.uk
They both have extensive photo archives and listings of mines. The North pennines also has loads of mines as well as more natural caves

Be careful with those old mine shafts, especially around Cleator Moor, they may be deeper than you think
One exploration team came out in Auckland, New Zealand!
