The Middlebere Plateway or Middlebere Tramway was a horse-drawn plateway on the Isle of Purbeck in the English county of Dorset. One of the first railways in southern England and the first in Dorset the plateway was built by a very wealthy London Merchant Benjamin Fayle ( a member of Lloyds and the London Institution) to take Purbeck Ball Clay from his pits near Corfe Castle to a wharf on Middlebere Creek in Poole Harbour a distance of some 3.5 miles (5.6 km).
