My first play of the D&D board game reminded me of it and I couldn't remember details about it then, 10 years after I'd read it. Spent time off and on looking for it. Asked Reference Librarians and Children's Librarians and used LitFinder to no avail. So gave up and assumed I dreamt it.
The comedians Eleanor Morton and Alasdair Beckett-King talked about it on their audio show "Eleanor & Alasdair Read That".

I think I've discovered this before:
"The Weirdstone of Brisingamen: A Tale of Alderley" By Alan Garner.
I somehow got this story mixed up with the story of "The Snow Queen" which made it hard to track down. I couldn't remember the title or the author or the cover and vaguely remembered a boy and a girl trapped in a cave in England. That was all I could remember, besides that I really enjoyed it.

From the British Fantasy Society:
In his semi-regular column on the TV that made us SFFH fans, Gary Couzens revisits The Owl Service, a formative book and series for many of today’s folk horror writers.

Managed to nab me one last Network release I’d missed and should have got. Alan Garner’s The Owl Service (1969) remastered on Blu-ray. Barely in print due to Network going into liquidation a couple of months after release. Out of stock most places but found a marketplace seller on Amazon with new stock. I haven’t seen this in many decades. Limited edition Blu-ray box includes a thorough booklet full of info. #BritishTV #Wales #AlanGarner #Horror #Folklore #FolkHorror #Myths #Myth #60sTV #Network

Currently (re)reading: #TheOwlService by #AlanGarner. Because sometimes you need to go back to old favorites.
