| | | Unidentified climbing plant
Hi there, an unusual foray into the mysterious world of plants for me! Can anyone identify what this climber is, it's taking over a bower. Thanks

oh no, was afraid of that, once described by Alan Titchmarsh as suitable to covers walls... of cathedrals!
It's at work on a bower type walkway thingy (only small though), was getting difficult to walk under it & horrible when it rained, eventually snapped at lunchtime, so attacked it savagely with a stanley knife (used to open boxes, forgot to take in my secateurs, am not some sort of psycopath honest  ). Was feeling slightly guilty if very satisfied, am not now. Thanks people, who would plant one of those, a clematis, honeysuckle & a rambling rose in a 3 ft (length) arched walkway!
