You are going to have to find an international bank that has ATMs in practically every city that you are going to, I don't know what bank that would be though, sorry I'm not more help!

I believe HSBC have a service called bank a/c plus (or something like that) where you pay an annual fee for certain services including travel insurance and some other stuff. I think this includes free ATM withdrawals when abroad. Check their website www.hsbc.co.uk.
If you don't find a bank with free ATM withdrawls when using your card abroad, it's best to just use your debit and credit cards for purchases when possible and take some local currency for where you don't want to use your card or can't.

There is only one, Nationwide - all the others charge you a fee for using the card abroad. In fact, you will even be charged with nationwide, the ATM operator abroad will charge you. You can't really expect them to give you money for absolutely no charge at all can you?????

Open an account at a local bank, wherever your holiday destination, especially if there's a Community Credit Union there (as in UK and in Australia). Such a bank is most unlikely to charge for cash withdrawals.
They pay you interest!

Nearly all Visa credit cards incur no fee for use abroad. Bank cards used to withdraw money are another story.

If you get a Plus account with HSBC (there's a monthly fee - about £10 I think) then you get free ATM withdrawals abroad, free travel insurance plus a whole load of other things (restaurant & hotel discounts, price-match when you use your card, discounts/enhanced interest on savings and other stuff) that can more than cover that monthly fee.

I would check out HSBC... or some other bank that has an international presence.

None, as far as I can tell.
Sign up for PayPal and get their credit card.
