General Rules:

If you change locations while eating, it is a form of interruption known as Shinui Makom, and would require you to make a new beracha (for beracha achrona see below with “crucial difference between Sephardim and Ashkenazim) if you wanted to eat more EITHER in this new place OR EVEN if you return to your original place.

Outdoors:

If the area is enclosed – then it has the status of “within a room” and you can go from one corner to the next even if you can’t see that far. By enclosed, I don’t mean a real concrete wall – even a row of short shrubs or a halachiac eruv would work. (Pischay Halacha 6:6 clarifies that the area must be owned by one guy or one entity and therefore a personal eruv would work, but not the town eruv.)

If it’s open (like in an open field, a forest or jungle) – then you can walk as far as you can see. Beyond that point it would be considered a location change. It doesn’t make a difference if the visibility is lost due to distance or a blocking object like a tree or ditch. The logic is that the area is considered one place as long as you can see it from where you make the initial beracha. Even if there is a tree 5 feet away, you wouldn’t be able to go behind that tree because once you cut off visibility from the original place, you have performed a shinui makom.
