Tenby, Wales
Tenby is in the southwest corner of Wales.  There are palm trees here, and it rarely snows.  This is because the Gulf Stream current in the Atlantic Ocean that comes from the direction of Florida swings up not too far from here, moderating the weather.  In fact, the Gulf Stream moderates the weather for the whole of Europe- it would be a lot colder than it is otherwise.
