No, it is not native but it was grown commercially around Pontefract in Yorkshire for many years.
From Wikipedia:
" Pontefract's deep, sandy soil makes it one of the few British places in which liquorice can be successfully grown.
The town has a liquorice-sweet industry; and the famous Pontefract Cakes are still produced,
though the liquorice plant itself is no longer grown there"

What spice is used to flavor licorice candy?
Licorice is traditionally flavored with licorice root, which is native to both North America, Europe, and China. The licorice spice is actually the root of the plant in the Glycyrrhizagenus. It is normally found on the market in both a whole stick form and a shredded form. The whole stick form is more pure.Real licorice root tends to be expensive so except for Chinese licorice, which is cheaper, most of the flavoring in licorice candy is comprised of a combination of fennel seeds (improperly called "anise") and star anise (an Asian spice that comes from an evergreen). These are also the same flavorings often found in root beer. Licorice flavoring can also be faked by using certain varieties of basil.Although delicious, real licorice comes with a warning - large doses can cause hypertension and other heart problems, so use it sparingly.
