No but the UK does have Gibraltar a self governing overseas territory. It is situated at the southern tip of Spain and was captured in 1704, eventually sovereignty was ceded to Britain in 1713. Spain has tried to reclaim it ever since. For much of their history Spain and Britain have been in conflict, much of it dictated by the clash between the two religions of Catholicism and Protestantism and the countries positions historically in trying to extend their empires around the world.
