Hi David, Word of warning, from what I can remember the Local Nature Reserves data is NOT part of the OGL licensed data and therefore cannot be used in OSM (unless its license sets out conditions that are compatible wit osm - i don't think it did).
I have looked at these datasets, many of which are land types and don't fit in with OSM's current mapping. Useful data could include the CROW Open Access land (I am hoping to expand the OSM wiki page on "UK access provisions" to include this), and possibly Millennium Greens. The national trails data could be used as a check against OSM but I believe it may be out of data and of mixed accuracy. Rob p.s. In QGIS you can select just the shapes you want, save them as a new layer (using the EPSG:4326 projection, and the ESRI shapefile format). In Potlatch this new shape file can be loaded in via the Background>Vector file.. menu. Finally if you alt click (shift ctrl click in linux) the shape it brings it through to the OSM layer where you can edit the tags and save it to OSM.
