The road forms part of the Hastings Ring Road and passes through the town of Winchelsea, England's first new town. The road has Trunk Road status between Pevensey and Brenzett (A2070) and forms part of the South Coast Trunk Road. This section of A259 is almost entirely single-carriageway, with only a 1 km stretch of urban dual carriageway in Bexhill.

Famous quotes containing the word description:

—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
“God damnit, why must all those journalists be such sticklers for detail? Why, they’d hold you to an accurate description of the first time you ever made love, expecting you to remember the color of the room and the shape of the windows.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“To give an accurate description of what has never occurred is not merely the proper occupation of the historian, but the inalienable privilege of any man of parts and culture.”
