Leafy climbing/viny plant for natural arches (self.gardening)

Hello everyone! What are some fast growing leafy plants that could extend from wooden supports every 4 Meters or so? I'm looking to make a pretty long natural walkway with some sort of shade overhead. I think fast growing plants are the best option. Is there something leafy enough to cross 4 meters?

I'm in a wet temperate climate.

Depending on exactly where you live, you could do jasmine or a native honeysuckle for flowers. Grape vines are traditional for a reason, as well. Trumpet flowers and wisteria are invasive in my area, and I would avoid them, but you could check whether either is a good option for your area.
