Bob, I can't offer any specific advice myself but it might be worthwhile contacting the original creators of the AONBs that have already been mapped on OSM to see if they can offer any specific advice on how they came by their datasets.
Steve_NI Dashers UniEagle jochta User jochta has mapped the North Wessex Downs AONB which I understand shares a boundary with the Chilterns AONB so you might start with them :) Existing AONB relations are here: http://ra.osmsurround.org/searchRelation?name=aonb Hope this helps.
