    You don't say which way the walls are facing, this will have a bearing on what you can plant.

    honeysuckle sounds like the most obvious choice, there's a whole variety out there, some are evergreen too which is great for winter coverage. They are extremely fast growing and flower to boot. a quick google should help you out.

    So you have walls facing West, East, and North? West is not a problem, Clematis, Honeysuckle, Summer Jasmine, Passion Flower and all of the annual climbers, ( Sweet pea, Black eyed Susan, Morning Glory, Canary Creeper etc.) should be quite happy there. East; a lot of the climbing roses, flowering quince. North; Climbing Hydrangea, (if you have the room), Winter Jasmine, Clematis " Hagley Hybrid", Rosa "Mme Gregoire Staechelin". These are just a few and I'm sure other posters will come up with more.
