Hi Greg, I've added names in the popup for everything but English LNRs (for some reason the dataset I used didn't have names).
I've deliberately not shown existing OSM data, nor reconciled where a nature reserve exists but the boundaries are out of kilter with the official sources. A good example is Kingley Vale NNR, where I have refined the southern boundaries, but the centroid is still outside the current boundaries mapped on OSM. Kingley Vale, like many NRs has some outlying sections. The data I uploaded may included multiple polygons so places like Rum NNR & St Kilda appear many times. I have added the Rum NNR as a separate relation using the same ways as the island, but this has the unfortunate consequence that the NNR name appears rather than the island name. Quite a few other places, such as Richmond Park, are also NNRs, and leisure tags clash.
