Barclaycard Rewards. It's a credit card, but is much simpler than a prepaid card or new current account, as you don't need to guess your spending in advance and top it up. Just use it and pay off the balance in full when you get the statement. Uses the VISA exchange rate with no markup and you get 0.25% cashback on purchases. No charge or interest on cash withdrawals either as long as you pay the statement off in full.  

I see that overseas ATM withdrawals are fee-free, do you happen to know what the daily/monthly limits are on these withdrawals please? Can't find them on the Barclaycard site.

On mine, the daily limit is £500 and the cash withdrawal credit limit is 30% of the full credit limit, eg if the credit limit is £5000 then you could withdraw £1500 in cash. (so it's not a monthly limit but a limit on the outstanding cash balance).
