Best card to move to with a largish balance

Hi all,

Wonder if you could point me in the right direction.

We've (wife and I), very slowly and stupidly, managed to run up about £6500 on a Barclaycard.
It was a stupid case of the odd thing here and there over 3/4 years, and before you know it, that's where it is - I'm paying a lot of interest, obviously.
Our only other debt is the mortgage, and we both work.

My credit is excellent, never defaulted, and I just want to get something cheaper, while I work on chewing away at the debt.

Is there another card that will take this, or am I better getting a loan to pay it off?
Just trying to get ways to make the debt cheaper.
