Hi Andy and mappamercia

I've delved into this some more and it appears that the Geopark is a
collection of pre-existing sites so mapping them as a relation shouldn't be
too difficult. However the list of sites is published on the geopark
website <https://blackcountrygeopark.dudley.gov.uk/sites-to-see/>with a
copyright claim so presumably we need to get explicit permission  to use
the list.(blackcountrygeopark at dudley.gov.uk). @Andy do you feel like
writing a nice diplomatic email to them?. I'll take a look at the UNESCO
resources to see if they have a copyright free list. Assuming we get a list
that's useable we could create a multipolygon for all the existing parks,
nature reserves that are included but there are a number of sites that
might be nodes - so how to include them?.

Proposed tagging
heritage=1
heritage:operator=UNESCO
operator= Black Country Geopark
boundary=protected_area
protect_class=3;98
protection_class= Global Geopark
start_date=2020-07-10
name= Black Country UNESCO Global Geopark
website=https://blackcountrygeopark.dudley.gov.uk/bcg

Interesting project for us to complete. Pity they have a google map to show
the extent of the geopark

Regards

Brian
