I'm in that area next week (well, New Forest actually). We're planning on doing doing a ride from Lyndhurst>Lulworth that looks about 40-45% unpaved.
Depending on what you mean by next week, consider that you can't cycle along bournemouth seafront in July and August (between 10am and 6pm). I'm yet to plot a nice route that cuts out the beach front, ideas from some locals welcome..

There is a bike path that runs alongside the road down there though isn't there?

Thanks - aware of this (we will be there in June).
My dad lives down there and informed me. He also warned there have been gangs coming down to the New Forest specifically to steal bikes. Unsure if true or boomer paranoia. Taking my good lock just in case.

I'm in that area next week (well, New Forest actually). We're planning on doing doing a ride from Lyndhurst>Lulworth that looks about 40-45% unpaved. Need to work the route a little though (there are so many unpaved roads in NF that it's actually quite hard to plan in RideWithGPS. Between Swanage and Lulworth, the key parts for me to include were the Priest's Way/Spyway to Swyre Head, and then the ridgeway going past Corfe Castle.
The route below isn't the original plan - I had intended a much more direct journey between Kimmeridge and East Lulworth, but turns out there is a big MOD tank firing range there (Lulworth Range) that is off limits most weekdays! Something to be aware of...
